Take another bowl and add your turkey breast cubes and your curry blend – taken from the above recipe. Make sure that your turkey is coated with the seasonings.

You can grill this uncovered for anywhere from 10 – 12 minutes but just make sure that you cook it until there is no pink remaining.

Close the lid and cook it until there is no pink remaining. When everything is finally cooked just remove the turkey from the skewers.

Place the bread halves cut side up on a large baking sheet. Broil the bread 6 inches from the heat for about 2 minutes plus or minus 4 minutes or for as long as it takes for the bread to become toasted. Then just spread the vegetable mixture into the bottom half of the loaf. Top with the steak strips and the cheese. Remove the loaf top from the baking sheet and just broil the bottom half of the bread for about 2 minutes or for as long as it takes for the cheese to become melted. Then place the loaf top over the filling to serve and cut this to make 6 portions. Each sandwich has approximately 340 cal and 34 g of carbohydrates.
Italian Meatball Rolls

Add the mushrooms, onion and garlic to the hot skillet and cook for anywhere from 7 – 10 minutes until it becomes tender making sure that you are stirring this. Add the tomato sauce, balsamic vinegar, rosemary and dried oregano. Bring this to boiling and then reduce the heat.
Simmer this covered for approximately 2 minutes then stir in the meatballs and cook for approximately 5 minutes or more until the meatballs are heated all the way through. Open the buns so that they are lying flat in place on the baking sheet cut sides up. Broil them approximately 5 inches from the heat for about one minute or for as long as it takes for them to become lightly toasted. Spoon out the meatball mixture evenly over top of your bonds and sprinkle with cheese. Broil for approximately two minutes or as long as it takes for the cheese to melt. If you like you can even sprinkled the fresh oregano over top. This makes 4 servings each of them has approximately 340 cal and 35 g of carbohydrates.
