When Honeysuckle Turkey sent me 12 packages of their Cheese-Stuffed Italian Turkey Meatballs, I knew they were serious about marketing their new product.

I happily made three different recipes using their new turkey meatballs, and by a unanimous vote from the family, this recipe for Pesto Baked Italian Turkey Meatballs was hands-down the winner!

The flavor combination of the pesto sauce with the cheesy meatballs was out of this world.

In addition to the incredible flavor of the Pesto Baked Italian Turkey Meatballs, the texture of the turkey meatballs is just like regular meatballs made with ground beef.

Often my husband does not care for the texture of some recipes made with ground turkey. However, he could not even tell that these were made with turkey instead of beef. Win!

In addition to being outrageously delicious, I love these Pesto Baked Italian Turkey Meatballs because the Honeysuckle Cheese-Stuffed Italian Turkey Meatballs makes this recipe so quick and easy to make. They are a big time saver, and allow me to get this dinner on the table in about 30 minutes!

Furthermore, Honeysuckle Turkey has no added hormones or steroids and no growth-promoting antibiotics. That makes me feel good about serving it to my family.

It is good to know where your food comes from. That is why Honeysuckle Turkey works with independent farmers to produce family farm-raised turkeys.
In Texas, the brand is Honeysuckle White Turkey. However, if you live on the East Coast (CT, DE, ME, MD, MA, NH, NJ, NY, NC, RI, SC, VT, VA, WV), look for Honeysuckle White’s sister brand, Shady Brook Farms!
