Cheese-Stuffed Mini Meatballs

Ingredients

  • 1 lb (450 g) ground turkey or chicken
  • 1 pkg Honey Garlic Meatball Seasoning
  • ¼ cup soft goat cheese or cream cheese
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • Toppings (optional): sesame seeds, chopped green onions

Preparation

  1. Preheat oven to 425° F. Line a sheet pan with a liner.
  2. In a large bowl, crumble in the ground meat and add the seasoning. Mix well. Using 1 tbsp as a guide, form meatballs; place on a pan. Flatten slightly into discs and put about ½ tsp cheese in the centre of each disc. Reshape into a ball, sealing the meat around the cheese. 
  3. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt honey in the microwave for about 20 sec. 
  4. Brush meatballs with melted honey. Bake until cooked through, about 10 min. 
  5. Insert a toothpick into each ball—they’ll be easier for guests to pick up.

Recipe Note

 Try flavoured goat cheese, such as cranberry or herbed.
