Lean ground turkey and Parmigiano-Reggiano make for slimmed down subs with big flavor
Ingredients 1 pound(s) lean ground turkey 1/2 cup(s) seasoned bread crumbs, Italian-flavor 1/4 cup(s) grated Parmesan cheese, such as Parmigiano-Reggiano 1 large egg(s) 1 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning 2 tsp kosher salt 24 oz canned tomato sauce 20 oz Italian bread, about two 10-inch loaves 1/2 cup(s) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F. Place oven racks in top 1/3 of oven. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or foil that’s been coated with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, combine turkey, bread crumbs, cheese, egg, Italian seasoning and salt. Using a tablespoon to scoop out turkey mixture, gently shape a tablespoon of mixture into a small meatball and place on a prepared baking sheet; repeat with remaining ingredients to make 32 meatballs. Bake, shaking pans every 5 minutes to promote even browning, about 10 to 15 minutes.
While meatballs are cooking, slice each loaf of bread into four equal pieces.
When meatballs are done, remove from baking sheets. Place bread on same baking sheets; top each piece with 4 meatballs. Spoon about 3 tablespoons sauce over meatballs in each sandwich; top each with 1 tablespoon cheese. Bake until cheese is melted and sandwiches are heated through, about 5 to 7 minutes. Yields 1 sandwich per serving.
