Turkey-Veggie Meatball Subs

ewintenburg's Note:

I adapted this recipe from a Cooking Light recipe. It's super easy and really delicious!

• Total Time: 40 mins
• Prep Time: 15 mins
• Cook Time: 25 mins

Ingredients:

Serves: 6

Yield: 6.0 subs

• 1 1/2 lbs ground turkey
• 1/2 cup dry breadcrumbs (I use Panko)
• 3/4 cup shredded carrot (you can substitute zucchini for some of the carrot)
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic
• 1 egg
• 24 ounces marinara sauce
• 6 whole wheat sub rolls
• 1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400°.
2. Combine ground turkey, breadcrumbs, carrots, salt, pepper, garlic, and egg in a bowl; stir well. Shape mixture into 30 (1 1/2-inch) meatballs. Place on a broiler pan coated with cooking spray. Bake at 400° for 15 minutes or until done.
3. Once the meat balls are done, transfer them to a pan and heat them up with the marinara sauce. While the meatballs and sauce are heating up, toast the sub rolls in the oven for a few minutes. Once the sauce is heated and the subs are toasted, assemble the meat balls (about 4 or 5 meatballs) on one side of the sub, top with cheese, and put the other half of the sub on the meatballs.
