1/2 cup flat leaf parsley, chopped |
1/4 cup milk |
1 tablespoon salt |
2 teaspoons fresh ground pepper |

3. Mix until combined.
4. Form turkey mixture into meatballs, approximately 1 3/4 inch in diameter.
5. Stuff a mozzarella cheese cube into each meatball and seal the meat around the cheese so it can't leak out.
