These tasty little meatballs are a family favorite. I serve them up with spaghetti and a light marinara or puttanesca sauce. But, they are really good alone or as a main dish with a side of veggies.
I don't use exact measurements on this one...everything is eye-balled.
1 lb. turkey or chicken (ground)
A few slices/tsps. of goat cheese (about 1/2 cup or more if desired)
1/2 of sweet onion, chopped
1/2 green pepper, chopped
1/2 cup (or more) sundried tomoatoes (olive oil packed, rinsed and chopped)
Italian seasoned bread crumbs (or quick oats...or panko bread crumbs with a generous dash of italian seasoning)
Mix together in a bowl with hands so that you really incorporate the goat cheese throughout the mixture. Form desired size meatballs and bake at 375 degrees on a baking sheet (sprayed with non-stick cooking spray) for 30-35 minutes (or until no longer pink in center). You can then drop them into sauce and let them simmer (they will absorb some of the flavor).
These make for an excellent dinner and include protein, dairy and vegetables all in one tasty bite. We also like to use leftovers for sandwiches.
A new twist on a old favorite!
