Meatball Ingredients

  • 1 pound Ground Turkey
  • 1 large Egg
  • ½ cup Panko Crumbs
  • 3 cloves Garlic
  • ¼ cup Parmesan Cheese
  • 2 tablespoon Buffalo Sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Onion Powder

Other Ingredients

  • ½ cup Buffalo Sauce
  • 6 large Hot Dog Buns Texas Style
  • 2 cups Coleslaw Mix
  • ¼ cup Blue Cheese Salad Dressing
  • 1 cup Grated Mozzarella

Instructions
 

Make the Meatballs

  • Preheat your oven to 350F with a rack in the middle position. Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Pour water into a small bowl, enough to dip your fingers.
  • Place the ground turkey and all of the meatball ingredients in a large bowl. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well mixed.
  • Dipping your fingers in the water, take some of the meat mixture and shape it in a 1-inch meatball. Place on the prepared baking try and repeat until you have around 24 meatballs.
  • Place the tray in the preheated oven for 16 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the meatballs is at least 165F.

Assembling the Subs

  • In a small bowl, mix together the coleslaw mix and the salad dressing.
  • Cut open the buns and toast them until golden. If they are too big for the toaster, you can place them facing up in an air fryer, toaster oven, or under the broiler.
  • Once the meatballs are fully cooked, place them in a large skillet on medium heat. Pour the ½ cup of buffalo sauce on the meatballs and toss them to coat. Once the sauce is heated through, take the skillet off the heat.
  • To assemble the subs, take a toasted bun and place some of the dressed coleslaw on the bottom.
  • Top the coleslaw with 3-4 meatballs and sprinkle with some of the grated cheese.

Notes

This meatball recipe can be used as an appetizer, simply by coating the cooked meatballs in the ½ cup of buffalo sauce and serving them by themselves. 
If you are not a fan of blue cheese, you can replace the dressing with Ranch of even Caesar salad dressing.
