Mozzarella Stuffed Turkey Pesto Meatballs
Low Carb & Gluten Free
10 servings · Easy
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 1/4 cup almond flour
- 1 egg
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 2 Tbsp pesto
- 2 oz fresh mozzarella
- 2 tbsp olive oil (or more) for frying
- 3 Tbsp pesto
Instructions
- Combine the ground turkey, almond flour, egg, salt and pepper, and pesto in a medium bowl, mixing until thoroughly combined. Form into 10 large meatballs. Cut the mozzarella into 1/2 inch cubes. Flatten out each meatball in the palm of your hand, place a cube of mozzarella in the center, and then wrap the meat around the cheese and reform into a ball again.
- Heat oil in a nonstick saute pan over low to medium heat. Fry the meatballs for about 4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Be careful when turning as they may stick to the pan.
- Serve the meatballs hot with about 1 tsp of pesto each, and an optional side of spaghetti squash flavored with olive oil and pesto.
