1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375¡ãF (190¡ãC).
2. Make the meatballs: In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper.
Mix until well combined. Shape the mixture into 1-inch meatballs.
3. Cook the meatballs: Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the meatballs for 6-8 minutes, turning to brown all sides. Alternatively,
you can bake the meatballs on a baking sheet for 15-18 minutes, or until fully cooked.
4. Simmer in sauce: Once the meatballs are browned, transfer them to a pot with the marinara sauce. Let the meatballs simmer in the sauce for 10-15 minutes,
allowing the flavors to meld.
5. Assemble the subs: Slice the sub rolls and toast them lightly in the oven. Place 3-4 meatballs in each roll, spooning some extra marinara sauce over
the top. Sprinkle generously with shredded mozzarella or provolone cheese.
6. Melt the cheese: Place the assembled subs under the broiler for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
7. Serve: Garnish with fresh basil or parsley and serve the subs hot.
