Ingredients

• 1 package meatballs (store bought, or great recipe below if you need it)
• 1 can Pillsbury Original breadsticks
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 12 (10"-12") wooden skewers
• Marinara sauce for dipping

MeatBalls

• 1 lb lean ground turkey
• 1/2 cup Italian bread crumbs
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 Tbsp dried Oregano
• 1 Tbsp dried Basil
• 1 Tbsp dried Parsley or ¼ cup fresh chopped
• 1/2 tsp Crushed Red Pepper
• 2 cloves garlic, minced

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375°
2. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
3. In bowl combine ground turkey, bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, Oregano, Basil, Parsley, red pepper flakes and garlic. Form into 1 inch meatballs.
4. Open can of breadsticks and starting with one breadstick at a time thread dough then meatball. Repeat the process with 2 more meatballs alternating dough-meatball, ending with dough. Make sure to spread dough and meatballs away from each other by about 1/4", so the meatballs bake through and the dough has room to expand.
   1. Best process is to start the thread at the tip of the skewer and move down as you go.  So bread dough, move down skewer, meatball, move down skewer, etc...
5. Bake for 20 minutes until the meatballs are cooked through.
6. Remove from oven and sprinkle each skewer with 1-2 Tbsp of shredded mozzarella cheese. Place back in oven for 2-3 minutes until cheese is melted.
7. Serve immediately with warm marinara sauce for dipping.
8. You can just grab the balls and slide them off the stick one by one with the bread
