Turkey Meatball Sub

Turkey Meatball Subs - Download Recipe

Ingredients:
Serves 4

• 2 large eggs
• 1/3 cup seasoned bread crumbs
• 1/2 cup finely chopped parsley
• 2/3 cup finely grated Parmesan
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 1/4 cup lentils
• 1.5 pounds lean ground turkey
• 1 24-oz. jar marinara sauce
• 8 crusty sub-style rolls
• 2 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 12 ounces sliced provolone

Directions:

1. Whisk eggs with 3 Tbsp. water. Stir the bread crumbs; let stand 5 minutes. Add Parmesan, parsley, garlic, and turkey; mix gently until well combined. Moisten hands and roll mixture into 24 1 1/2 inch balls. Transfer to a dish large enough to accommodate all meatballs. Refrigerate meatballs for 30 minutes.
2. Pour marinara into a wide, deep pot with a lid and warm over medium-high heat. Add meatballs (sauce will not completely cover meatballs), cover and cook 10 minutes. Uncover and turn meatballs. Cover; cook 10 minutes longer, until meatballs are no longer pink inside (cut one to test).
3. Preheat broiler to high. Cut rolls lengthwise and drizzle inside each with 1 tsp. olive oil. Divide cheese among rolls and place on baking sheet. Broil until cheese is melted and bread is lightly toasted, 1 to 2 minutes.
4. Place three meatballs on each roll and spoon sauce over. Serve immediately.
