Meatball Sandwich

Earlier this week, I made a tomato sauce recipe that Eileen, my old boss, gave to me. She recently had a pizza party where she made all the dough, and both meat and vegetarian sauces. Once we arrived at her house, we started assembling pizzas. We had so much fun and I ate pizza until 10pm.

Since I made the sauce on Monday, I've been dreaming about what I could do with the leftovers. Then it came to me, da duh duh turkey meatball sandwiches. YUM!

First, I started with the Eating for Life Recipe for meatballs.

1 1/2lb white meat ground turkey
2 egg whites
1/2C breadcrumbs
1/4C water
1/2 onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4C fresh parsley, minced
2tsp dried basil
1tsp black pepper
salt

Mix all of the ingredients, form into balls that you like the size of and place on a baking sheet. Broil for 10-12 minutes, taking time at least once to rotate the balls.

After cooling the balls, I put 8 into a pan with the sauce to keep them warm. On hand you will also need mozzarella cheese and a roll. I broiled the roll a bit to brown it, then added the warm sauce and meatballs, sprinkled it with mozzarella and sent it back to the broiler to melt the cheese. The result was a tasty dinner and now I'm going to have to recreate it again for lunch.
