So...... I am not the perfect cook. But it is one of my favorite hobbies. I enjoy trying new recipes and come up with healthy recipes that will benefit my health. I have been craving meatball subs for the longest. I have been thinking of eating one on my cheat day. But I just think of all the calorie it has and i say how can i eat something high in calories after eating clean.
I decided to come up with a recipe. Instead of buying one in the city that has over 800 calories. The sub i made including bread and cheese only contains 252 calories. This sub is great for lunch or dinner. I bought all the products at Trader Joe's. But if you don't have a Joe's near you a regular supermarket will do it. Plus it is super cheesy and i could eat all of it. Literally !
It Looks so yummy ! 
The bread is just perfect. Crunchy and not soggy that's the consistency you want.
Couldn't resist had to take a bite while photographing the sub.
Recipe
16 oz or 1 pound of lean turkey ground meat
1 egg
3 tbs of whole wheat breadcrumbs
1/2 tbsp Onion Powder
1/4 tbsp salt
1/4 tbsp black pepper
1 to 2 tbs Italian seasoning
1 cup of traditional sauce (I used PREGO light smart)
1/4 cup of water
Mix together all of the ingredients except for sauce. The recipe makes 18 meatballs = 106 calories per 2 serving I only used 2 my bread would not hold anymore.
On a non stick skillet add 1 tbs of Olive oil
On medium heat add the meatballs until they brown on each side which is about 3 minutes per side. when the are nicely brown. Add the Tomato sauce and water. Cover the pan with lid and let it simmer for 30 minutes. For more flavor add another tbs of Italian seasoning. After 30 minutes the sauce should have a thick consistency and the meatballs should be fully cooked.
Take a Whole Wheat or whole grain Hot dog bun or which ever is best for you. I had whole wheat at the moment. Add two meatballs and a bit of sauce now take 1/4 of the low fat shredded mozzarella cheese and add it on the top. place it on the broiler for 1 minute. And TA-DA their you have a yummy and healthy meatball sub. Who said eating healthy food was not yummy?
I invite you to try this recipe and let me know what you think of it. As I said before i am not an expert just a gal that has decided to have a clean eating lifestyle.
Enjoy !
