Mozzarella-Stuffed Pesto Turkey Meatballs

• 3 lbs ground turkey
• 1 cup onion, finely chopped
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 egg
• 1 cup Italian style breadcrumbs (add a little more if needed to hold mixture together)
• 1/2 cup parmigiano-reggiano cheese, grated
• 1/4 cup pesto sauce
• 1/2 cup flat leaf parsley, chopped
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1 tablespoon salt
• 2 teaspoons fresh ground pepper
• 1 lb fresh mozzarella cheese, cut into 36 cubes
• extra virgin olive oil (to drizzle over meatballs)

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. In a bowl, place ground turkey, chopped onion, minced garlic, egg, bread crumbs, cheese, pesto, chopped parsley, milk, salt and pepper.
3. Mix until combined.
4. Form turkey mixture into meatballs, approximately 1 3/4 inch in diameter.
5. Stuff a mozzarella cheese cube into each meatball and seal the meat around the cheese so it can't leak out.
6. Arrange on a nonstick baking sheet and drizzle with the olive oil. Bake for approximately 30 minutes.
7. Serve with marinara sauce if desired.
