MOZZARELLA-STUFFED PESTO TURKEY MEATBALLS
I came up with this recipe for a recipe contest, and it's been a family favorite ever since. For a lighter version, omit stuffing the meatballs with mozzarella cheese. Serve with your choice of pasta.

Steps:
- Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Place the ground turkey, onion, garlic, egg, bread crumbs, Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, parsley, pesto, milk, salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Mix until evenly blended, then form into 1 3/4-inch meatballs. Make a hole in the meatball with your finger and place a cheese cube in the hole. Seal the meatball around the cheese and place on a nonstick baking sheet. Drizzle the olive oil over the meatballs.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the meatballs are no longer pink in the center, about 30 minutes. Heat the marinara sauce in a saucepan over low heat. Bring to a simmer, and place the baked meatballs in the marinara sauce for about 2 minutes.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Combine the ground turkey, pesto and a pinch of salt in a large mixing bowl. Using your fingers, form 1-inch meatballs. Place the meatballs on one side of a sheet pan and the bell peppers and broccoli florets on the other. Drizzle with the olive oil and a good pinch of salt. Roast until vegetables are tender and meatballs start to turn golden, about 30 minutes, then turn the oven to broil. Drizzle 1 or 2 tablespoons water over the broccoli, then put the sheet pan under the broiler until toasted, about 5 minutes.
- For the parents, serve garnished with fresh basil, a lemon wedge and freshly grated Parmesan.
- Now for the kids! In the meantime, boil the spaghetti in a pot of salted water until al dente. Reserve about 1/2 cup pasta water and drain the rest.
- Toss the pasta with the pasta water, a tiny drizzle of olive oil and a small helping of meatballs and veggies. Garnish with cheese and serve!

Steps:
- In a large bowl, mix together ground turkey (preferably dark meat), pesto, panko breadcrumbs, lightly whisked egg, grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, kosher salt, and freshly ground pepper with a fork until just combined. Cover with plastic wrap; refrigerate.
- Heat smashed and peeled garlic clove in a saucepan over medium-high until fragrant, about 30 seconds; add low-sodium chicken broth and fresh basil. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and simmer, partially covered, 10 minutes. Form turkey mixture into tablespoon-size balls. Remove basil and garlic from liquid; gently drop in meatballs. Remove from heat; let stand, covered, until meatballs are cooked through, about 8 minutes. Stir in chopped escarole. Serve immediately with more Parmigiano-Reggiano and pepper, and drizzled with more pesto.
