MOZZARELLA-STUFFED PESTO TURKEY MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• 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.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the meatballs are no longer pink in the center, about 30 minutes. Heat the marinara sauce in a saucepan over low heat. Bring to a simmer, and place the baked meatballs in the marinara sauce for about 2 minutes.

MOZZARELLA-STUFFED TURKEY AND TOMATO KEBABS

Steps:

• Cut turkey breast cutlets into 12 3-inch squares. Tear mozzarella into 12 small strips. Peel and quarter shallots. Working on a cutting board, use 2 overlapping basil leaves to enclose a cheese strip and place on a piece of turkey. Roll turkey around filling and thread onto an 8-inch skewer to hold the roll-up closed. Follow with 1 shallot wedge and 1 cherry tomato. Add 2 more roll-ups to skewer, alternating with shallot and tomato. Repeat to make 3 more kebabs.
• Heat a grill to medium-high. Clean and lightly oil hot grill. Season kebabs with salt and pepper and grill, turning and brushing with Italian dressing occasionally, until turkey is cooked through and cheese is melted, 10 to 12 minutes.
