First Eat Clean Creation

I’ve eaten clean before, but have never taken photos of my creations, which is why this is titled as my “first” eat clean creation (first one photographed).  We had this for lunch today.  It’s called Turkey Meatball Sub.  It was really good!  We both liked it and it will now go on our “make again” list.

TURKEY MEATBALL SUBS

Serves 4.

5 whole-grain sub rolls
1 lb extra-lean ground white turkey breast
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp dried oregano
1 egg
1 egg white
1 small onion, thinly sliced
14.5 oz can Italian-style tomatoes
1/4 cup shredded reduced-fat mozzarella cheese

Using a food processor process 1 sub roll into fine bread crumbs. Measure out 1 cup of crumbs.

In a large mixing bowl, use your hands to combine turkey, garlic, oregano, egg and egg white. Gently shape the mixture into 20 meatballs.

Heat a 10” skillet over medium-high heat. Add meatballs to skillet and brown on all sides. Remove meatballs and reduce heat to medium. Add onion and cook, stirring frequently, until slices are limp and just starting to brown.

Add tomatoes and meatballs, and stir to coat. Allow mixture to come to a slight boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and cook for 20 minutes, uncovered.

Split remaining 4 sub rolls in half lengthwise. Fill each roll with 5 meatballs and sauce, and top each with 1 TBSP of shredded cheese.
