Description

These delicious (and kind of healthy!) sandwiches are for Superbowl Sunday! I tried to just slightly switch up a traditional meatball sub. I made the meatballs with ground turkey instead of beef. I finished their cooking in a fresh, zippy tomato sauce, and then topped with freshly shredded mozzarella and a julliene of basil. Served on a lightly toasted baguette!

Ingredients

  • FOR THE MEATBALLS:
  • 1 pound Ground Turkey
  • 1 whole Egg
  • ½ cups Finely Grated Parmesan
  • 1 Tablespoon Dried Oregano
  • 1 Tablespoon Kosher Salt
  • ¼ teaspoons Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
  • _____
  • FOR THE SANDWICH ASSEMBLY:
  • 3 cups Fresh Tomato Sauce
  • 2 whole Baguettes, Cut Into 4 Pieces
  • 2 cloves Raw Garlic, Whole
  • 1 cup Finely Grated Mozzarella Cheese
  • 3 Tablespoons Fresh Basil, Julienned
  • Drizzle Of Olive Oil

Preparation

Mix all of the meatball ingredients in a medium bowl until they are completely combined.

With clean hands, roll the turkey into medium sized meatballs and set on a sheet of parchment.

Bring a saucepan of salted water to a simmer. Place the meatballs in the simmering water and cook until they are just cooked through, and float to the top of the water.

Remove the meatballs from the water with a strainer and set aside.

When all of the meatballs have been cooked, use the same saucepan to heat the tomato sauce. Add the meatballs to the heated tomato sauce and simmer on low until the meatballs and sauce are warmed through and hot.

Split a baguette in half lengthwise. Drizzle the baguette with olive oil. Toast the baguette under your broiler until golden. Remove from the oven and immediately rub the toast with a clove of raw garlic.

Fill the baguette with the meatballs and sauce. Sprinkle with shredded mozzarella and fresh basil. Cut each baguette half in half and serve hot. Enjoy!

This recipe turned out VERY tasty, but the cooking times were way off for me. The meatballs took about 35 minutes to cook, but other than that great!
