Meatball Sub on a Stick

Meatball Sub on a Stick*

Ingredients :

1 lb lean ground turkey

1/2 cup whole wheat bread crumbs

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 Tbsp dried Oregano

1 Tbsp dried Basil

1 Tbsp dried Parsley or 1/4 cup fresh chopped

1/2 tsp Crushed Red Pepper

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 can Pillsbury Original breadsticks

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

12 (10"-12") wooden skewers

Marinara sauce for dipping

Directions :

Preheat oven to 375°

Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.

In bowl combine ground turkey, bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, Oregano, Basil, Parsley, red pepper flakes and garlic. Form into 1 inch meatballs.

Open can of breadsticks and starting with one breadstick at a time thread dough then meatball. Repeat the process with 2 more meatballs alternating dough-meatball, ending with dough. Make sure to spread dough and meatballs away from each other by about 1/4", so the meatballs bake through and the dough has room to expand.

Bake for 20 minutes until the meatballs are cooked through. Remove from oven and sprinkle each skewer with 1-2 Tbsp of shredded mozzarella cheese. Place back in oven for 2-3 minutes until cheese is melted.

Serve immediately with warm marinara sauce for dipping.
