Prep Time:15 minutes
Cook Time:15 minutes
Servings: 12 babies

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground turkey (mine was 93% lean. any ground meat should work!)
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped tomatoes (scoop out the seeds)
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375 and line your baking sheet with parchment
  • Chop your tomatoes finely and remove seeds (either scoop out or squeeze if grape/cherry tomatoes)
  • Add tomatoes to a mixing bowl, then add in remaining ingredients
  • Mix everything until just combined (but do not over mix. I used a food safe glove to mix because I think using your hands is what works best!)
  • Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon add around 1.5 tablespoons of the mixture to your baking sheet
  • Can leave as is, or roll into balls
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes until internal temperature reads 165
  • Serve and enjoy!
