I used to make these meatballs on their own without the mozzarella inside, and ever since I tried it this way...I have never gone back to the original way. Why mess around? These are delicious! I usually make them when I have some leftover Grandpa's Marinara sauce. I eat these all on their own, usually with a side of a roasted veggie. Often times, I will boil up a little pasta for hubby (depending on just how much sauce I have left). With or without pasta, I know you will love these!
Ingredients:
1 lb. - ground turkey meat8 baby carrots
1/2 onion
3 cloves of garlic
1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese
1/2 tbsp Italian seasoning
1 egg white
3/4 cup of unseasoned breadcrumbs (cut out the Italian seasoning if using the seasoned breadcrumbs)
Salt
Pepper
Block of part skim mozzarella cut into 3/4 inch cubes
Marinara sauce for dipping
2. Get your hands into the mix, mush it all together....roll into balls with a cube of mozzarella inside. I usually make them about 2 inches around. Last time I ended up with about 14 meatballs.
3. Bake for 40-45 minutes.
4. Serve with marinara sauce for dipping.
