Cooking Steps
- Add turkey, breadcrumbs, half the Zesty Garlic Blend and 1/4 tsp (1/8 tsp) salt to a medium bowl. Season with pepper, then combine.
- Using damp hands, roll mixture into 8 (16) equal-sized meatballs.
- Arrange meatballs on an unlined baking sheet.
- Bake in the middle of the oven until golden-brown and cooked through, 12-14 min.**
- Meanwhile, halve buns. Arrange on another unlined baking sheet, cut-side up.
- Spread butter onto cut sides.
- Toast buns in the middle of the oven until golden-brown, 3-4 min. (TIP: Keep an eye on buns so they don't burn!)
- Add vinegar, 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) sugar and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil to a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then whisk to combine.
- When meatballs are almost done, heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat.
- When hot, add marinara and remaining Zesty Garlic Blend. Cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce is warmed through, 1-2 min.
- Add meatballs. Cook, stirring often, until meatballs are well coated, 1 min.
- Remove from heat.
- Divide meatballs and sauce between sandwich buns. Sprinkle half the Parmesan over top and return to the oven.
- Bake in the bottom of the oven until cheese is melted and buns are golden, 2-3 min.
- Meanwhile, add spring mix and croutons to the bowl with dressing (from step 4), then toss to coat.
- Divide sandwiches and salad between plates.
- Sprinkle remaining Parmesan over the salad.
Tester: How is the melting time here, does it need to be increased.
