Ingredients You’ll Need For Our Homemade Turkey Meatball Subs Recipe:
- Ground turkey
- Bread crumbs
- Dried basil
- Dried oregano
- Dried parsley
- Garlic salt
- Parmesan cheese
- Egg
- Olive oil
- Montreal steak spice
- Marinara sauce

How To Make Our Homemade Turkey Meatball Subs Recipe:
Begin by preheating the oven to 425 degrees.
Then in a large mixing bowl, combine together the ground turkey, bread crumbs, dried basil, dried oregano, dried parsley, garlic salt, olive oil, egg, Parmesan cheese, and Montreal steak spice.
Once the meat is all mixed together, form small 1 ½ inch sized balls and place them on a greased cookie sheet.
After all the balls have been rolled, place the sheet in the oven and bake them for 15 minutes, or until they are cooked all the way through.
Then slice the buns in half or open the subs and place a slice of provolone cheese on the top and place the buns in the broiler to give them a nice golden brown toasting and the cheese melts.
While the meatballs are still cooking, pour the marinara sauce in a large pan and heat it over low-medium heat.
After you pull the rolls out of the broiler, place 3-4 meatballs on the bottom bun and then smother it in the warmed marinara sauce.
Then place the top on and enjoy!

Ooooh I love turkey meatballs. And on a sub even better!!
I’ve never tried turkey meatballs, but these look delicioso I may just have to give them a chance!
Mmmmm…I love meatballs!
Thanks for sharing on the College Football Tailgate Link Party!
These look fabulous, but I’m trying my best to count my calories……..anyone hazard to guess what one sandwich would be?

Fantastic! Thanks for the help…and the subs are well within a healthy calorie count!
This was a yummy meal! I added jalapeno peppers for extra flavor and a bit of spice! Will definitely be making these again!
Worked wonderfully.My only issue was after baking them for 30 minutes it didn’t seem done. I took them out the other and fried them in olive oil for less then a minute. Not as healthy as with the oven but hey at least its not ground beef.
I tried this recipe and it was delish! Thanks Six Sisters!
Made this and hubby went bananas, he said it took care of his meatball sandwich craving. I’m telling you he’s in LOVE with food, but what man isn’t.
I made these and me and my boyfriend loved them! For the steak seasoning i used the hot and spicy one just to add some kick and added more of the garlic! So delicious!
These meatballs are amazing & so easy to make!! I’m throwing out my old meatball recipe and definitely switching to these! Thanks for the great recipe!!
Came across this recipe and thought I would give it a try. I was blown away with how delicious and moist these were! I have to say that being my first time making homemade meatballs I was a bit skeptical on how they would turn out but found them super easy and quick to make! For sure my go to recipe!
Great meatballs will make again, again again and again!!!!!!!!
These are the best turkey meatballs I have ever eaten. I always make a triple batch and freeze two batches to have later for spaghetti and meatballs, Hoisin Asain meatballs over rice (awesome recipe from Pinterest) and even for meatball appetizers if we are having company. These are always in my freezer for a wonderful, quick meal. Another bonus is ground turkey is cheaper than ground beef, but my family enjoys them just as much as beef meatballs. Thank you so much for this recipe!
These turkey meatballs are FANTASTIC!!! I always make a double batch because these freeze very well, but I must admit, they don’t last very long in my house!
I made this recipe for my partner and I and it came out perfect alots of flavor and taste delicious!!! Highly recommended if you like turkey!!!
