  • 3 cloves Garlic finely minced
  • 1 medium Yellow Onion finely diced
  • 2 cups Marinara Sauce
  • 5 pieces Hot Dog Rolls
  • 5 slices Provolone Cheese

  • Chop the spinach very finely and stir it into the turkey mixture until well incorporated.
    2 ounces Baby Spinach
  • Shape the turkey florentine mixture into 20 equal meatballs. Place them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes in the 350F oven, or until the internal temperature reaches 165F.
  • While the meatballs are baking, place a large saucepan on medium heat. Drizzle a little olive oil in the pan and add to it the minced garlic and chopped onion. Cook until onions are translucent. Pour the marinara into the pan.

  • Add the cooked meatballs to the pan with the sauce. Stir to coat them in the sauce and bring to a simmer. Cook on low for 3-5 minutes.
  • Remove the parchment from the baking pan and replace it with aluminum foil. Fill the bread rolls with 4 meatballs in each and place on the sheet pan. Spoon the sauce over the meatballs and cover with the slices of provolone.
