Cast Iron Stuffed Mozzarella Turkey Meatballs



Okay so seriously one of the best dishes I have come up with!!! These were carb friendly and I used a very lean 93 % Turkey. I think you could also go with a very lean beef or even 1/2 beef and 1/2 pork if you aren't watching calories and they would be amazing!!! I served these over a bed of Zoodles ( my zucchini noodles ) and topped with a little parm. It was so yummy!!!!


Shopping List

2 1b rolls of Turkey Meat ( I used 93 percent lean)
Buffallo Mozzarella cut into small cubes
1 egg
1 cup Italian bread crumbs ( could go without if reallllyyyy trying to watch carbs )
one ( quarter )sautéed onion with two cloves of sautéed garlic
S&P
Oregano
Italian Seasoning
Garlic salt
Red pepper flakes
one jar of marinara sauce
Parm cheese




Procedure

Start by preheating your oven to 400 degrees
in a cast iron skillet start sautteeing your onion and garlic together with a little olive oil
while those are cooking, get out a large bowl and add your meat and spices. Then add your one egg and breadcrumbs and mix thoroughly. Once the onions are finished throw them in with the meat and fold gently. Take small balls of the meat mixure and press a mozzarella cube into each. Be sure and fold the edges so that the meat encompasses the cheese and its "stuffed" inside. 

over Med/High heat start placing the meatballs into the cast iron skillet and brown them on all sides. This is to help lock in the flavor when we are baking them. 
Once they are browned, pour your marinara sauce over them and top with the parm. Stick in the oven for about 20 minutes.

Done!!! Serve over zoodles or spaghetti :)

I mean how yummy do these look??
