Cheesy Meatballs
As you may know I love making burgers and meatballs.. this recipe like yesterdays included ricotta cheese… very delicious!
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1 medium shallot, chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, chopped
- ¼ cup ricotta cheese
- ½ cup shredded cheese (I used a mixture of mozzarella and parmigiano)
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 1 egg, beaten
- ½ cup panko crumbs soaked in ¼ cup milk
- 4 cups marinara sauce
Transfer turkey, shallot, garlic, ricotta, shredded cheese, salt and egg into a medium bowl. Mix well and let it sit for 2 to 3 hours. Add the panko crumbs and mix well. In the meantime, add the tomato sauce to a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Form the meatballs and add to the simmering tomato sauce. Cook the meatballs covered with a lid for about 20 minutes. Take the lid off and check for seasonings. Serve with whole wheat spaghetti.
