Crock Pot Cheese Stuffed Turkey Meatballs

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground turkey
• 1/2 cup Italian breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 eggs, lightly beaten
• 4 ounces cream cheese, cut into small cubes
• 3 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

1. Warm the olive oil in a large skillet set over medium-high heat.
2. Add the ground turkey, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, parsley, salt and pepper, eggs and cream cheese to a large bowl. Gently work everything together until the mixture looks evenly combined.
3. Shape the turkey mixture with your hands or a spoon into 1-inch meatballs, then set them into the heated skillet. Brown them for about 5 minutes per side, until the outside is golden and the meatballs are cooked through.
4. Move the browned meatballs into a slow cooker and put the lid on. Cook on low for 4-5 hours, until the cheese has melted and the meatballs are cooked through. Serve warm with your favorite sides.
