Turkey Meatball Sub

Turkey Meatball Sub

A healthier take on the classic meatball sub. Using lean ground turkey instead of beef saves 100+ calories and 10g of fat, while the whole grain roll adds fiber.

Ingredients

• 4 oz lean ground turkey (93%)
• 1/4 cup whole wheat breadcrumbs
• 1 egg white
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• 1/4 cup marinara sauce
• 1 whole grain sub roll
• 1 tbsp grated Parmesan
• 1/4 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella

Instructions

1. Mix ground turkey, breadcrumbs, egg white, and Italian seasoning. Form into 4 meatballs.
2. Bake at 400°F for 15 minutes, or pan-fry until cooked through (165°F).
3. Warm marinara sauce. Add meatballs and simmer 3 minutes.
4. Split the sub roll and lightly toast.
5. Place meatballs in the roll, top with sauce, mozzarella, and Parmesan.
6. Broil for 1-2 minutes until cheese is melted.
