Coarse salt and black pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, (2 turns around the pan)
4 cloves garlic, crushed and chopped
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
A handful flat-leaf parsley leaves, chopped, about 2 tablespoons
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
One 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes
One 14-ounce can chunky style crushed tomatoes
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 semolina crusty sub rolls, with or without sesame seeds
One 10-ounce bag (2 1/2 cups) shredded Provolone or Italian 4-cheese blend
Shredded basil (sweet) or shredded arugula (spicy) leaves, for garnish
Oven Fries, as an accompaniment, recipe follows
4 medium white skinned potatoes, each cut into 8 wedges lengthwise
Extra-virgin olive oil, to coat
Grill seasoning blend or coarse salt and black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Place ground sirloin in a large mixing bowl and punch a well into the center of meat. Fill well with the egg, bread crumbs, onion, garlic, red pepper flakes, Worcestershire, parsley, cheese, and a little salt and pepper. Mix up meatball ingredients until well combined, yet not over-mixed. Divide mix into 4 equal parts, roll each part into 4 balls and space equally onto a nonstick baking sheet. Place meatballs in oven and roast about 12 minutes. Break a meatball open and make sure meat is cooked through before removing from the oven.
  • Heat a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add oil and garlic. When garlic starts sizzling, add herbs and crushed pepper. Allow oil to infuse for half a minute, then stir in the tomatoes and season sauce with salt and pepper. Bring sauce to a bubble, reduce heat, and simmer until meatballs are removed from oven.
  • Combine meatballs and sauce and pile into sub rolls, 4 meatballs per sub. Top with shredded cheese and place under subs under broiler to melt cheese. Top with shredded basil or arugula and serve with a pile of Oven Fries.
  • Drizzle potatoes with a generous pour of extra-virgin olive oil. Toss potatoes with seasoning blend or coarse salt and pepper. Place potatoes on a nonstick baking sheet and roast 20 minutes or until just tender. Give the baking sheet a good shake after 10 minutes to avoid sticking.

BALSAMIC-GLAZED TURKEY MEATBALL SUBS WITH PROVOLONE



Balsamic-Glazed Turkey Meatball Subs with Provolone image

Instead of being simmered in a tomato sauce, the meatballs for these tasty sub sandwiches get tons of flavor from a tangy-sweet glaze made with balsamic vinegar and chicken broth. A splash of soy sauce gives the glaze a touch of umami while the melted provolone cheese and peppery arugula in the subs round out all the flavors.

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/4 pounds ground turkey
1/2 cup Italian-style dry breadcrumbs
1/2 cup parsley leaves, finely chopped, plus more for garnish
3 scallions, minced
3 garlic cloves, finely grated
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
Splash of soy sauce or liquid aminos
4 hoagie or sub rolls, split
12 slices provolone
2 cups baby arugula (optional)
Freshly grated Parmesan or pecorino, for topping

Steps:

  • Combine the turkey, breadcrumbs, parsley, scallions, garlic, salt and pepper in a large bowl and mix well. Using a 2-tablespoon scoop, scoop lightly packed mounds of the mixture onto a plate or baking sheet, then roll them into neat balls.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs and cook, turning occasionally, until browned but not cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes.
  • Whisk the broth, vinegar and soy sauce together in a small bowl. Pour the mixture into the skillet with the meatballs and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer, basting occasionally, until the meatballs are cooked through and the sauce has thickened, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the broiler with a rack about 8 inches from the heat source. Arrange the split hoagie rolls on a large rimmed baking sheet and top each with 3 slices of provolone. Broil until the cheese is melted and the buns are lightly toasted on the edges, 1 to 2 minutes. Fill the rolls evenly with the arugula, if using, and the meatballs, spooning some of the sauce on the subs. Top with Parmesan or pecorino, sprinkle with parsley and serve.
