1 1/3 lb turkey
1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
3/4 tsp. garlic salt
1/2 tsp dried Italian seasoning
6 crusty hoagie rolls, about 4 oz. each and 6 inches long, tops split and insides slightly scooped out
3/4 cup prepared marinara sauce
6 slices provolone cheese, about 1 oz. each
Heat oven to 375 F. Coat a 15x10-inch rimmed baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large bowl, mix together the turkey, bread crumbs, eggs, Parmesan cheese, garlic salt and Italian seasoning until well combined.
Form into 24 meatballs, about one well rounded Tbsp each. Place meatballs in the prepared baking pan. Bake, on middle rack in oven, at 375 F for 30 minutes, turning halfway through baking time.
Remove meatballs from oven; set oven to broil. Place 4 meatballs inside each roll and spoon 2 Tbsp. of sauce over the meatballs. Top each with a slice of cheese. Place sandwiches on a broiler pan and cook on the middle rack of the oven for 3 minutes or until lightly browned and cheese melts; be sure that rolls do not get crispy. Serve immediately.
