  • 1/8 cup chopped fresh basil
  • 1/8 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley

Instructions

For the meatballs

  • In a large bowl, combine the challah and milk. Next, add the parmesan, basil, parsley, tomato paste, salt, pepper, eggs, and garlic. Using a spoon, work all the ingredients together. Add the ground turkey, chicken and sausage meat. Using fingers, gently mix all the ingredients until thoroughly combined.
  • Using your hands, form the meat mixture into fairly large meatballs. Place the meatballs on a heavy nonstick baking sheet, spacing apart. Drizzle with olive oil and bake until cooked through, 20 – 25 minutes.

To assemble sandwich

  • Cut open the Italian roll. Add 2 meatballs.
  • Pour the marinara over the meatballs.
  • Top with the shredded mozzarella.
  • Place on a baking tray in a 325 degree oven and bake for approximately 5 minutes. It is ready when the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
  • Serve and enjoy!
