These are so family friendly, it’s redunkulous. Mix up the meat and shape the meatballs in the morning, stash them in the fridge, then simmer gently when you get home in the evening. Simple.
1 pound lean ground turkey breast
1 pound Italian turkey sausage, squeezed from their casing
1 packet Lipton’s onion soup mix
Squeeze of ketchup
Squeeze of yellow or Dijon mustard
1 can Dom Pepino pizza sauce (this is my fav– use any pizza sauce you like)
Hoagie buns
Slices or shredded provolone cheese
1) Mix the ground turkey, sausage, onion soup mix, ketchup and mustard in a large bowl. Squish it well with your hands until thoroughly combined, then roll into balls the size of ping pong balls. Set in the fridge until ready to cook.
2) Place the meatballs and the pizza sauce into a large pot, try to get the meatballs in one layer. Fill the empty pizza sauce can 1/3 way up with water and swish around, then dump into the pot. Cover, bring to a gentle simmer and cook, with the lid cracked for 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
3) Place cooked meatballs into a hoagie roll, spoon sauce over top and layer with provolone. Bake until the cheese melts (you could also broil to melt the cheese). Serve immediately.
