Ingredients You’ll Need For Our Homemade Turkey Meatball Subs Recipe:

• Ground turkey
• Bread crumbs
• Dried basil
• Dried oregano
• Dried parsley
• Garlic salt
• Parmesan cheese
• Egg
• Olive oil
• Montreal steak spice
• Marinara sauce
• Provolone cheese
• Sub buns or sandwich rolls

How To Make Our Homemade Turkey Meatball Subs Recipe:

Begin by preheating the oven to 425 degrees.

Then in a large mixing bowl, combine together the ground turkey, bread crumbs, dried basil, dried oregano, dried parsley, garlic salt, olive oil, egg, Parmesan cheese, and Montreal steak spice.

Once the meat is all mixed together, form small 1 ½ inch sized balls and place them on a greased cookie sheet.

After all the balls have been rolled, place the sheet in the oven and bake them for 15 minutes, or until they are cooked all the way through.

Then slice the buns in half or open the subs and place a slice of provolone cheese on the top and place the buns in the broiler to give them a nice golden brown toasting and the cheese melts.

While the meatballs are still cooking, pour the marinara sauce in a large pan and heat it over low-medium heat.

After you pull the rolls out of the broiler, place 3-4 meatballs on the bottom bun and then smother it in the warmed marinara sauce.

Then place the top on and enjoy!
