Turkey Meatballs with Mozerella Cheese

1 pound ground turkey thigh
1 pound ground turkey breast
1 cup finely chopped onion
4 cloves minced garlic
1 egg
1 cup bread crumbs seasoned ..or add
1 tsp. Italian seasoning
1/2 cup Parmiagiano-reggiano cheese
1/2 cup chopped parsley
1/4 cup prepared pesto(green)
1/4 cup milk
1 tbs. salt
1 tsp. black pepper
1 pound mozerella cubes
3 tbsp. olive oil

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Combine turkey with all ingredients except oil.  Mix until blended and make 13/4 inch meatballs.  With a finger, press a hole into each meatball and stick in a piece of cheese and seal meatball.  Place on tinfoiled cookie sheet and drizzle oil all over meatballs.  Bake for 30 minutes. Delicious!

If you want a more moist meatball, place in simmering marinara sauce for a few minutes and serve with pasta.

But.....be prepared for garlic breath the next day.

Yummy Basa Filets



Nothing tastier than a package of Basa filets.  Thaw them out, cut in half, dredge in flour, salt, pepper, and Paprika. Mix veggie oil and butter half and half and fry on medium heat about 5 minutes on each side until breading is a nice golden colour.  I love these hot....I love them cold...I love then by themselves or in a sandwich the next day with sweet pickles.  A quick supper with a salad.

Zucchini Appetizers




Zucchini  Appetizer

 3 cups unpeeled grated zucchini
4 eggs beaten

1 cup flour

1 tsp baking powder

1 cup finely chopped onion

2 garlic cloves, crushed

½ tsp. Oregano

½ cup oil

½ cup parmesan cheese

¾ tsp. Salt

2 tbsp parsley flakes
1 cup mozzarella cheese

 You can add bacon, mushrooms if you like.  Mix eggs, flour, baking powder, oil, parmesan cheese, onion, garlic, oregano, parsley flakes, and salt. Blend well. Fold in grated zucchini.  Spread batter in a greased 9 by 13 inch pan.  Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over batter and parsley flakes. I made a mistake and blended my parsley flakes in batter. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.  Freezes well.

Delicious!!!
