teaspoons olive oil

(19.5-ounce) package JENNIE-O® Lean Sweet Italian Turkey Sausage

cup pizza sauce

tablespoons chopped fresh basil

sub rolls, split and toasted

In large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Pinch and squeeze meat from each sausage into hot pan to form small meatballs; these will not be perfectly round.

Cook meatballs for about 12 minutes, turning occasionally, until cooked thoroughly. Always cook to well-done, 165°F. as measured by a meat thermometer.

Add sauce and stir to coat. Cook until sauce is hot. Stir in basil. Spoon meatballs into roll; top with cheese.

Place under heated broiler for about 2 minutes or until cheese is melted.

Garnish with grated Parmesan and fresh basil leaves, if desired.
