Turkey Meatball Mini Sub w/ Baked Fries

Dinner Tonight: Turkey Meatball Mini Sub w/ Baked Crinkle Fries





For Breakfast this morning I toasted a couple of Nutri Grain Eggo's and I had a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. 61 degrees and mostly sunny out today, 2 days in a row with no rain! After Breakfast I went to McDonald's and picked up Breakfast for Mom. Dropped that off and headed back out to Menard's. They had some Whiskey Barrel Plant Buckets and Mom had been wanting one so I purchased 1 for her. I also picked up another plant bucket along with a couple of bags of Peat Moss, 2 bags of Dirt, Weed Spray and a few Vegetable and Spice Plants. I replanted a few of plants and then finished up working on the backyard flower bed. So for Dinner tonight I prepared a Turkey Meatball Mini Sub w/ Baked Fries.


I had used the Honeysuckle White Fresh Italian Style Turkey Meatballs leftover from yesterday meal. The Meatballs are good size, always fresh, meaty, and have a fantastic taste and they’re 190 calories and 5 net carbs for 3 Meatballs. Plus they’re a perfect size for Hoagie or Hot Dog Buns, I used Aunt Millie’s Reduced Calorie Whole Grain Hot Dog Buns.






For my Pasta Sauce I had used the LaRosa’s Original Sauce. A local favorite and mine also, it’s got a perfect combination of a robust sauce with a hint of sweetness to it. To prepare it I took a medium size sauce pan and sprayed it with Pam Cooking Spray. Emptied the can of Sauce in the pan and turned the heat on medium. Then I added my Turkey Meatballs and covered the pan and let it simmer until both the Sauce and Meatballs were heated through.




I’m using Sargento Shredded Mozzarella Cheese as a topping for the Sub. You can use Hoagie Buns but to save on calories and carbs I usually just use Aunt Millie’s Reduced Fat Whole Grain Hot Dog Buns. To assemble; open the Bun up, put the Meatballs and Sauce in the Bun , top it with a few shakes of McCormick Grinder Italian Seasoning, and top it with the Sargento Shredded Mozzarella Cheese. Love these Meatball Sandwiches! The Larosa’s Sauce just seems to bring the Sandwich together! Sauce is incredible, Turkey Meatballs flavorful and meaty, and the Mozzarella is perfect with Pasta and Sauces.


For my Fries I’m using Alexia Organic Yukon Select Fries. Seasoned them with McCormick Grinder Sea Salt and Black Peppercorn Medley. Baked them at 425 degrees for 16 minutes. They bake up beautifully and seasoned just right, excellent Shoestring Fry! Plus they are only 120 calories and 15 net carbs. For Dessert/Snack later a bowl of Skinny Pop – Pop Corn and a Sprite Zero to drink.
