I created this recipe this afternoon between loads of laundry...the recipe for the red sauce is here on the blog. My kids devoured these sandwiches...they gave dinner two thumbs up! Creating a meal that all three kids LOVE is challenging. Definitely keeping this one in my rotation :)
Serves 4-6.
3 cups " Simple Red Sauce" (find under August 2010)*
For The Meatballs
1 lb. ground turkey
1 tsp. season salt
1/2 tsp fresh cracked pepper
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 cup ketchup
1/2 cup fresh breadcrumbs*
1 egg, lightly beaten
2 tsp Italian Seasoning
For the garlic toast
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 tsp garlic powder
pinch kosher salt
1/2 tsp Italian Seasoning
Wheat Bollilo Rolls (or your favorite wheat sandwich roll)
Sliced sharp provolone cheese
Preheat oven to 350. In a medium bowl combine all meatball ingredients and using hands gently combine. Spray a baking sheet with PAM or olive oil spray. Shape meat mixture into walnut size balls and arrange on baking sheet. Place in oven and bake 15-17 minutes or until golden brown. While meatballs are baking, heat red sauce over medium heat. Keep sauce at a gentle simmer.
When meatballs are done, remove from oven and set aside. Set oven to broil.
In a small bowl combine garlic butter ingredients. Cut rolls in half and spread halves with some of the garlic butter. Place on baking tray and broil until deep golden brown. Remove from oven.
To serve: Top bottom half of garlic bread on plate and spread a thin layer of red sauce over it and top with 3-4 meatballs. Spoon about 1/4 cup sauce over meatballs. add a slice of provolone & put on top half of garlic bread. Gently press down and serve with remaining red sauce for dipping.
*If you don't have time to make your own red sauce, use your favorite store brand.
** Take one of the bollilo rolls and process to fine crumbs in food processor. Store leftover crumbs in plastic container in freezer.
