Smoked Mozzarella AmazeBalls
Author: 
Recipe type: Appetizer
Serves: approx. 10 meatballs
 
These simple little meatballs have so much flavor... and they're gluten-free!
Ingredients
  • ½ lb. ground turkey breast (or other ground meat)
  • ½ cup diced yellow onion
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp pepper
  • ¼ tsp herbs de Provence
  • 1 tbsp fresh basil
  • 1 tbsp Parmesan cheese (grated/powder type)
  • 1 egg
  • ½ cup grated smoked mozzarella
  • olive oil, couple tbsp for sautéing
Instructions
  1. Finely chop the onion, garlic, and basil
  2. In a bowl, add the onion, garlic, basil, herbs de Provence, salt, pepper, Parmesan, and turkey meat… mix it together lightly (you don’t want to over-handle the meat)
  3. Add the egg… using your fingers, mix all of the ingredients
  4. Using a tablespoon, scoop up the meat mixture and place it in the palm of your hand… press a small hole in the center (like a small bowl)
  5. Add a generous pinch of grated smoked mozzarella to the center and then seal it up by enclosing the meat around the cheese
  6. Continue until all meatballs are stuffed
  7. Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat… lay the meatballs in the pan (do not overcrowd them- you may have to do this in batches). Cook them for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown and completely cooked through
  8. Once done, serve them on a plate with toothpicks (optional). That’s it… enjoy!
