Ingredients

  • 11 Ounces Pizza dough pop in fresh pizza dough works great
  • 1 Pound Ground Turkey 99% fat-free
  • 2 Cups Mushrooms
  • 1 Tablespoon Roasted Garlic
  • 1 Tablespoon Fresh Oregano or 1 teaspoon of dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon Onion Powder
  • 3 Ounces Mozzarella cheese Easier if you buy the mozzarella cheese knots
  • 1 Ounces Parmesan cheese
  • ½ Cup Pizza Sauce

Instructions

Meatballs

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Then coarsely chop the mushrooms.
  • Chop Fresh Oregano
  • Mix together ground turkey, mushrooms, oregano, roasted garlic, and onion powder.
  • I suggest purchasing small mozzarella balls. If unavailable, cut the cheese into small pieces.
  • Make meatballs about the size of a walnut.
  • Place a slice of mozzarella cheese in the center of the meatball.
  • Place meatballs on a baking sheet and bake at 425 degrees in the oven for 10 minutes. Then, lower the oven temperature to 375°F.
  • Bake the meatballs for 20 more minutes at 375 degrees and flip them halfway through. Remove from oven when done.

Building pizza rolls

  • It is important to refrigerate the pizza dough until it is ready to use. Roll out the dough on parchment paper.
  • Cut the pizza dough into thirds lengthwise.
  • We bought Rao's (my favorite). Spread it on the pizza dough
  • To prepare the pizza, sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top of the pizza sauce.
  • Put the meatballs on the pizza dough, positioning them near the edge.
    Cheesy Meatball Pizza Knots
  • Roll the dough over the meatballs using the parchment paper.
  • Gently remove the parchment from the dough.
  • Cut the dough between each meatball.
  • Crimp the dough around each meatball and place it on a foil-lined baking sheet. Repeat the process with the remaining dough. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top of the pizza rolls.
  • Bake the pizza rolls per the package directions. Usually 12 to 15 minutes
  • Serve with a cold beer or a nice glass of wine. SO GOOD! Enjoy!!!
