Stuffed Ground Turkey Meatballs

meriann

Here's a yummy recipe I just tried:

Cheesy Turkey Meatballs
Mix 1/2 pound lean ground turkey with 1 tablespoon diced onion, 1 teaspoon minced garlic, 1 beaten egg, 1/4 cup whole wheat bread crumbs, 2 tablespoons nonfat milk, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
Form 8 meatballs, placing a 1/2-inch mozzarella cube in center of each.
Mist a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray; bake meatballs 15 minutes at 425 degrees.
Serve 4 meatballs over zucchini and 1/3 cup cooked whole wheat orzo; top with 1/2 cup tomato sauce. (Freeze leftovers.)

With the meatballs, pasta, and red sauce we used, the whole serving came to 500ish calories. Mine came to a bit more then 500 but it wasn't much and it was really filling.
