These turkey meatballs are stuffed with gooey cheese and flavored with fresh herbs for a delightful meal.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, egg, grated parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, chopped basil, salt, pepper, milk, and bread crumbs.
Mix gently to avoid overworking the meat, which can make the meatballs tough.
Form the mixture into meatballs about 1.5 inches in diameter. Insert a cube of mozzarella cheese into the center of each meatball, ensuring the cheese is fully enclosed.
Wet your hands slightly to prevent the mixture from sticking while shaping.
Place the meatballs on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil.
Lining the baking sheet with parchment paper can make cleanup easier.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and golden brown.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Serve the meatballs warm, optionally with marinara sauce or a side of your choice.
Garnish with additional chopped parsley for a fresh touch.
