Oversized Turkey & Cheddar Meatballs

These were a big hit.


  • 1 package of ground turkey
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup of bread crumbs
  • Handful of parsley, cut thin
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt & Pepper
  • 3 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees
  2. In large bowl, combine turkey, egg, bread crumbs, parsley, Parmesan Cheese, Salt, Pepper and Olive Oil.
  3. Form 6 large meatballs on a cookie sheet. Flatten the tops so they can easily fit in to a sandwich roll or bun.
  4. Sprinkle cheddar cheese on top.
  5. Bake for 15 minutes, then broil for 5 minutes.
  6. Let cool.
  7. You can either put these in sub rolls, cut in to quarters and serve as an appetizer with bacon and cheddar on top or whatever else you can think of!

**Another way you can make these are with one thick slice of Vermont Cheddar Cheese on top of each meatball instead of the shredded cheese. You can also cook this dish with slices of chorizo sausage all around baking sheet (as shown in my stuffed chicken breast recipe). The sausage gets brown and crispy and the oils mix with the meatballs and add flavor.
