Whole Grain Turkey Meatball Sub
These meatball subs have a double-dose of whole grain goodness: the whole grain sandwich roll and the whole grain bread that takes the place of breadcrumbs in the meatballs. If you love a meatball sub, try this healthier version that is just as delicious as the original.
Ingredients:
1 pound ground turkey breast
½ medium onion, diced
1 egg, beaten
2 slices whole grain bread, soaked in non-fat milk
½ cup chopped fresh parsley
Salt and pepper to taste
1 jar spaghetti sauce
4 whole wheat sandwich rolls
4 slices provolone cheese, cut in half
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
Directions:
Heat oven to 325°. Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix to combine. Form into 1-2 inch meatballs and place, evenly spaced, into a baking dish coated with non-stick cooking spray. Bake for 30-45 minutes, depending on the size of the meatball.
Meanwhile, heat your favorite spaghetti sauce in a saucepan over medium heat. When the meatballs are finished cooking, add to the spaghetti sauce.
Open sandwich rolls and place on a cookie sheet, under the broiler, to toast the inside for 1 minute. Remove from oven and place two, half-slices of provolone cheese on the bottom half of the sandwich rolls. Place back under the broiler until cheese is melted. Remove rolls from oven and top each with 2-3 turkey meatballs, a spoonful of spaghetti sauce, and a sprinkling of parmesan cheese.
