This was the first meal I ever made my mother in law. I started cooking way before this but never had the nerve to cook for her. I'm an expert at cooking for 2 and now 3, but anymore people and I am intimidated...especially with picky eaters.
I think she was surprised I knew what I was doing and even more surprised that these were made with turkey which is on her short list of meats she likes. It's now requested at any gathers where I'm cooking, so I can't believe it took this long to get on the blerg.
Turkey Meatball Subs
Makes 8 subs
- 2 eggs
- 1/3 cup seasoned bread crumbs
- 1/2 cup finely chopped parsley
- 2/3 cup finely grated Parmesan
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 pounds ground turkey
- 2 24 ounce jars of marinara sauce
- 8 crusty sub style rolls
- 2 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
- 8 slices provolone
Whisk eggs with 3 tablespoons of water. Stir in bread crumbs are let sit for 5 minutes. Add parsley, parmesan, garlic, and turkey. Mix gently until well combined. Roll into 24 inch balls and transfer a dish. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Pour marinara sauce into 2 wide, deep skillets with lids and heat over medium-high. Add meatballs (sauce will not cover them completely), cover, and cook for 10 minutes.
Uncover, turn meatballs, and cook for another 10 minutes until meatballs are cooked inside.
Meanwhile, preheat broiler and cut sub-style rolls lengthwise. Brush the inside of each roll with olive oil. Divide the cheese among the rolls and place on baking sheet. Broil until cheese has melted and bread is lightly toasted. About 1 to 2 minutes.
Place 3 meatballs on each toasted sub and spoon sauce over. Serve.
