How to cook deliciously - Mozzarella-Stuffed Pesto Turkey Meatballs

1. Stage

Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

2. Stage

Place the ground turkey, onion, garlic, egg, bread crumbs, Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, parsley, pesto, milk, salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Mix until evenly blended, then form into 1 3/4-inch meatballs. Make a hole in the meatball with your finger and place a cheese cube in the hole. Seal the meatball around the cheese and place on a nonstick baking sheet. Drizzle the olive oil over the meatballs.
