Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lbs. ground turkey
  • 1/2 cup bread crumbs
  • 1 tsp. basil dried
  • 1 tsp. oregano dried
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan
  • 1 large egg beaten
  • 2 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 Tbsp. Montreal steak spice
  • 3 Tbsp. chopped parsley
  • 1 whole roasted red pepper from a jar and chopped finely
  • 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1 1/2 cups grated provolone
  • 650 ml. marinara
  • 8-6 " subs

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425F. Mix the turkey with the bread crumbs, basil, oregano, Parmesan, egg, olive oil, steak spice, parsley, roasted red pepper and garlic powder. Form into 1.5 to 2-inch meatballs and place on a greased cookie sheet; press to flatten slightly. Bake for 15 min.
  • Pour the marinara sauce into a large skillet and bring to a simmer over low heat. When the meatballs are done, place them into the sauce and turn off the heat.
  • Slice buns in half and remove a small amount of the lower half of the bun so the meatballs will rest easily in the bun and not roll out. Broil to lightly toast.
  • Add 3 (large) or 4 (smaller) meatballs to each bun with some of the tomato sauce. Divide the provolone among the subs. Place on a baking sheet and broil again until cheese is melted and lightly browned, about 1 minute.
