Turkey Meatball Sub
A lower in fat alternative to the traditional meatball sub is our turkey meatball sub!
Turkey meatball subs offer the perfect combination of juicy meat, oozy cheese and fresh bread. For the cheese, you want something that melts easily, like cheddar or blue cheese if you like a stronger taste.
The ideal bread to go with this is a hot dog roll, or a crusty loaf if you want something thicker. Get them underneath the grill for added crisp.
