Directions
1. In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 teaspoon oil over medium heat. Sauté onion until softened, about 5 minutes, and set aside.
2. In a large bowl, soak bread in water and cream until soft. Mix in turkey, garlic, cumin, salt, pepper and onions. Divide mixture into 12 portions, insert a cheese cube into the center of each portion and form into balls (make sure cheese is completely enclosed).
3. Heat remaining oil over medium heat. Cook meatballs 5 minutes, turning to brown on all sides. Add salsa and chicken broth to skillet, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, covered until meatballs are cooked through, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate and spoon sauce over meatballs before serving.
