MEATBALLS STUFFED WITH MOZZARELLA

These are the ABSOLUTE best meatballs. I mean, anything that's stuffed with a mozzarella ball has to be good, right?! It really does take a meatball to the next level. We highly recommend giving this recipe a try. 

| TURKEY MEATBALLS STUFFED WITH MOZZARELLA SERVED OVER BAKED SPAGHETTI SQUASH |

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef or turkey 
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan
  • 1/3 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1 teaspoon basil
  • mozzarella balls
  • 1/2 cups flour
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1 jar tomato sauce

Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 350℉.
  2. In a large mixing bowl combine the ground meat, parmesan, panko breadcrumbs, eggs, salt, pepper, oregano, & basil. Combine everything until the ingredients are evenly mixed. 
  3. Form the ground meat mixture into small meatballs, each about he size of a golf ball. 
  4. Insert a small mozzarella ball in the center of each meatball & reform the meatball around the cheese. The mozzarella should be completely hidden from sight. 
  5. Dredge each meatball in the flour to lightly coat it and gently tap off any excess.
  6. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. 
  7. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Once the oil is hot, add half of the meatballs and sauté for a 4-5 minutes, turning every so often to brown the outside. 
  8. Once the meatballs are browned, remove them from the oil and repeat the process with the remaining meatballs. 
  9. Pour the tomato sauce into a baking dish and place the browned meatballs on top.
  10. Place in preheated oven and let the meatballs continue to bake for 15-20 minutes until cooked through. 
Great served over pasta or spaghetti squash and garnished with fresh basil and grated parmesan.
