Ingredients:
1 slice white bread
1/4 cup milk
1 1/4 lbs. ground turkey
1/2 cup finely diced onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon ketchup
1 egg
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
24-1/2 inch cubed mozzarella cheese

1 jar marinara sauce, warmed
1/3-1/2 pound spaghetti, cooked to al dente

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat and set aside.

Tear slice of white bread into small pieces and place into a large bowl. Pour milk over top of the bread and let it soak while you chop the onions and garlic. Add the remaining ingredients {excluding the cheese} into the bowl and mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly combined. Scoop the meat mixture by the tablespoon into your hand and place a cube of cheese in the middle. Press the meat all around the cheese to cover completely and roll into a ball. Place on prepared baking sheet and continue stuffing the meatballs with cheese until you have 24.
 Bake for 20-23 minutes or until meat is thoroughly cooked. Serve with marinara and spaghetti.
