Mozzarella Stuffed Meatballs Recipe (perfect for school lunches)

Ingredients

• 1 lb Ground Turkey
• 1/4 cup panko bread crumbs
• 1/4 cup finely diced onion
• 2 cloves minced garlic
• 1/2 cup oil or vegetable oil
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 2 tbsp brown sugar
• 3 mozzarella sticks, cut into thirds
• Salt and pepper

Directions:

1. Mix all ingredients excluding mozzarella cheese sticks together. It is best to mix with your hands or with a Kitchen Aid blender.
2. Roll golf ball sized meatballs. Make sure they are nice and tight. Put meatballs aside.
3. Cut mozzarella sticks into thirds.
4. Using your finger poke a hole into the center of the meatball and push a piece of mozzarella inside. Re-roll meatballs and make sure the mozzarella is fully covered.
5. Pour oil into a saute pan and heat it up. Carefully place meatballs in oil and brown on all four sides. Once all meatballs are browned, place on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper (or foil) and bake in the oven at 375 degrees for 20-25 minutes.
6. Serve with marinara sauce and pasta! YUM!
