"A friend found this recipe on the Ingham's site, she has made them and said the family loved them. Stuffed with a cheesy filling they did look wonderful and tasty. A different way with meatballs and turkey. I am posting here to try them, as I have not made them yet, although they have been tested by some-one else with rave reviews."
