Ingredients

300g jar mild tomato salsa

4 long white bread rolls

8 Aussie Jack Burger cheese slices

1 medium tomato, finely diced

½ green capsicum, finely diced

2 green onions, thinly sliced

MEATBALLS

500g turkey mince

½ cup grated parmesan

2 cloves garlic, crushed

¾ cup panko breadcrumbs

¼ cup chipotle hot sauce

Method

Step 1

MEATBALLS: Place turkey, parmesan and garlic in a large bowl. Add breadcrumbs and half the hot sauce (1½ tbsp). Mix until well combined. Roll heaped tablespoons of turkey mixture into balls (makes 20).

Step 2

Place meatballs on an oven tray lined with baking paper. Spray with olive oil. Cook in a 200°C preheated oven for 15-20 mins, until cooked through.

Step 3

Combine remaining hot sauce with salsa in a small jug. Transfer hot meatballs to a large bowl. Add half the sauce mixture. Toss to lightly coat.

Step 4

Make a cut along top of each roll without cutting all the way through. Split rolls open. Spray cut sides with olive oil. Fill each roll with 2 cheese slices and 4-5 meatballs.

Step 5

Increase oven to 220°C. Place rolls on a clean oven tray, filled side up. Cook for 3-5 mins, or until cheese is melted and rolls are lightly toasted.

Step 6

To serve, spoon over remaining the sauce mixture and sprinkle with combined tomato, capsicum and onions.
