Mozza-Balsa-Basil Meatballs


Ingredients:

1 1/4 lb. ground turkey, lean
0.75 oz. pkg. basil, chopped (save some for garnish if served with pasta)
1/2 c. Panko, plain
1 Tbs. balsamic vinegar
1 Tbs. olive oil
1 1/2 tsp. garlic salt
1/2 tsp. fresh cracked pepper
2 Weight Watchers string cheese, sliced


Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. Combine the turkey, basil, Panko, balsamic, olive oil, garlic salt and pepper together with hands until well combined (you can use a spatula if you don't like to get your hands dirty).


Eyeball approximately 1 1/2 tablespoons worth of filling and flatten in your hand. Place a slice of string cheese in the middle. Bring the turkey up around the cheese and roll into  a ball. Place on the parchment paper. Repeat with the remaining meatballs. Bake for 23-25 minutes in the oven. Let cool slightly before serving.


(Makes 25 meatballs (1 WW point each. Divided into 8 servings, of 3 meatballs each, is 3 WW points.)

(Great when served on top of Spinach Roasted Garlic Pasta)
