About this Recipe Makeover
Sausage subs are generally high in calories and high in fat. These made-over subs drop the higher fat ingredients by switching regular pork sausage to lean turkey sausage, and whole milk Mozzarella to nonfat. A shorter French roll completes the calorie trade-off. Also lower in sodium, this tasty sub still passes the flavor test!
