Turkey Meatball Subs with Marinara and Mozzarella
Equipment
- Mixing Bowl
- Baking Sheet
- Skillet
- Oven
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1/2 cup plain breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups marinara sauce
- 4 hoagie rolls
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. In a mixing bowl combine the ground turkey, breadcrumbs, egg, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix until evenly blended then shape into 16 small meatballs.
- Arrange the meatballs on a baking sheet and bake for 15 to 18 minutes until they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees.
- While the meatballs cook, warm the marinara sauce in a skillet over medium heat until it begins to bubble.
- Split each hoagie roll and place four meatballs inside. Spoon warm marinara over the meatballs.
- Sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top of each sub and place them under the broiler for 2 to 3 minutes until the cheese melts and starts to brown.
Notes
For picky eaters, choose a smooth marinara without visible chunks of vegetables. You can form the meatballs earlier in the day and keep them covered in the fridge until you are ready to bake. Leftovers reheat nicely in a 350-degree oven for about 10 minutes so the rolls stay crisp instead of soggy.
