Mozzarella stuffed turkey meatballs!

Picture
INGREDIENTS:
For every pound of ground turkey (although I usually make 3-4 lbs because they are THAT good)
-1/4 cup minced garlic
-1 egg
-3/4 cup Italian-style breadcrumbs
-1/3 cup Parmesan cheese
-1/4 cup cashew or almond milk (or any milk you prefer)
-3 tablespoons olive oil
-1/2 cup finely chopped celery
-black pepper
-about ½ pound fresh mozzarella, cut into small cubes
 
RECIPE:
  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees & line baking tray(s) with aluminum foil.  Spray thin coat of cooking spray on foil.
  2. In large bowl- mix ground turkey, garlic, egg, breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, milk, olive oil, celery, and as much black pepper as you would like. (I find that it mixes best when I use my hands although it is messy).
  3. Form the ground turkey mix into meatballs.  Make a hole in meatball with finger and place mozzarella cube inside.  Use extra turkey mix to seal hole.
  4. Bake for 30-34 minutes.
 
 I usually like to serve these with homemade mashed potatoes :)

Healthy chocolate bars

-Melt chocolate chips or white chocolate chips (or both!) in saucepan on stove

​-Either, spoon into little muffin cups (my way) or place aluminum foil on a baking tray and smooth out mixture to form a block that can be cut into bars later (mom's way)

Ground turkey cheesy stuffed shells

Picture
One of my favorite dishes to make when I need my cheesy fix! Lean ground turkey, mushroom, and ricotta stuffed shells..Not exactly the "healthiest" option only because of the amount of cheese I use, but still a good source of protein in the turkey and at least I know what I am putting in my food and my body (as opposed to restaurant cooking where much more butters and oils are used!).

In Crockpot:
-Add Jennie-O Italian ground turkey, mushrooms & green onions in crockpot and cook on low for 6 hours or high for 3.5 hours (mix and match veggies of your choice if you don't want mushrooms and green onions)

Oven/Stove
​
-Boil shells as instructed on box
​-Once turkey is done, mix with 16oz ricotta cheese, one egg, & pepper
​-Stuff shells and pour your choice of pasta sauce on top (in baking dish)
​-Add shredded mozzarella cheese on top
-Bake at 350 degrees for 50 min
