• 3 lbs ground turkey
• 1 cup onion, finely chopped
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 egg
• 1 cup bread crumbs, Italian style
• 1/2 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, grated
• 1/4 cup pesto
• 1/2 cup flat-leaf parsley, chopped
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1 Tablespoon salt
• 2 teaspoons freshly ground pepper
• 1 pound fresh mozzarella, cut into 36 cubes
• Extra virgin olive oil to drizzle over meatballs

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