Mozzarella- Stuffed Pesto Turkey Meatballs

Features:
    Cuisine:

    I cut the recipe in half, subbed panko GF breadcrumbs, and hemp milk for regular milk added a bit more pesto (mostly because I had it and didn't want to waste it) and placed the mozzarella in the middle of the meatball. The success of the mozzarella was a bit mixed. The larger the square the better it seemed. But I didn't feel that the mozzarella gave much to the recipe other than novelty so I will leave it out next time. It was flavorful and delicious.
