Ingredients

For Meatballs

  • 1 1/2 pound ground turkey
  • 2/3 c panko bread crumbs
  • 1 small shallot, minced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1/4 c fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

For subs

  • 3 c (24 oz jar) marinara sauce
  • 6 hot dog buns
  • 1 c parmesan cheese, grated
  • ¼ c fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • Toothpicks

Directions

In a large bowl, gently mix the turkey, bread crumbs, shallot, egg, salt, pepper and parsley by hand until combined. Shape mixture into eighteen 1 1/2 inch meatballs.

Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium high heat. Add the meatballs, flipping occasionally to make sure all sides are golden brown. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the meatballs reach a safe internal temperate of 165°F.

Warm up marinara sauce in a pot large enough to hold the sauce and meatballs. When meatballs are done, add them to the sauce and stir to coat.

To serve, place 3 meatballs in each hot dog roll and insert a toothpick through each meatball before cutting the roll into thirds. Sprinkle each with parmesan cheese and parsley.
