Italian Turkey Meatball Subs

Prep 25M | Cook 20M | Enjoy in 45M

Meatball subs are always a family favourite! The turkey meatballs in this recipe come together quickly for an easy weeknight supper. If meal prep interests you, try making a double or triple batch of meatballs on the weekend and freeze them in an airtight container for an extra quick family meal ready in no time.

Ingredients:

1 lb (454 g) ground turkey

½ cup Italian-style dry breadcrumbs (may substitute plain)

2 cloves minced garlic

1 cup sliced fresh spinach

1 large egg, beaten

¼ tsp dried oregano

¼ tsp dried basil

¼ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

¼ tsp salt

¼ tsp pepper

6 (6-inch) sub buns, split lengthwise

1½ cups jarred marinara sauce (or homemade)

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400⁰F.
  2. In a large bowl, combine turkey, breadcrumbs, garlic, spinach, egg, oregano, basil, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper. Mix until combined. Form mixture into 18 meatballs and transfer to nonstick foil-lined (or parchment paper-lined) rimmed baking sheet.
  3. Bake until browned and internal temperature of meatballs reaches 165⁰F, about 15 minutes. Transfer meatballs to a plate. Discard foil or parchment paper.
  4. Place buns on same baking sheet and add 3 meatballs to the centre of each bun. Top each sandwich with marinara sauce and mozzarella cheese, dividing equally.
  5. Bake until sauce is hot, and cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.
  6. Serve and enjoy!
