Method
Directions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Combine the ground turkey, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, egg, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and onion powder in a large bowl. Mix until just combined.
Form the mixture into meatballs, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter. Place them evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the meatballs for about 15-20 minutes until cooked through and golden brown.
Heat the sauce by combining sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil in a small saucepan over medium heat.
Drizzle the warm sauce over the baked meatballs, tossing gently to coat evenly.
Slice the sub rolls in half and lightly toast them if desired.
Assemble by placing several meatballs into each sub roll and drizzle with additional sauce if desired.
Top with shredded lettuce, sliced cucumbers, and sliced green onions.
