Things were quite hectic around here last night and the last thing that I wanted was to be was stuck in my kitchen for hours. I whipped up another easy-to-do family favorite--turkey sloppy joe sandwiches. I took the easy way out and served seasoned French fries alongside the sandwiches.
I used this recipe a lot when I was low-carbing by replacing the regular ketchup with Heinz low carb ketchup and the brown sugar with a low carb brown sugar substitute. Either way, it's really good.
What you need:
olive oil
1/2c. celery, sliced (I omitted)
1/2c. onion, chopped
1/2c. red & green peppers,
chopped (I now use all green to
save $$)
2c. ground turkey, browned
1c. ketchup
3 Tbs. white vinegar
1Tbs. brown sugar, packed
1/2 tsp dry mustard-this is needed
but I did use regular spicy brown
mustard in a pinch and it worked
fine
8 hamburger buns
What you do:
Brown turkey in olive oil and drain well if there is any leftover grease in the pan.
Saute celery, onions & peppers, cook until tender.
Add cooked turkey, ketchup, vinegar, br. sugar & mustard. Reduce heat to low and simmer 15 minutes--doesnt really need to simmer that long if you don't have the time.
Spoon into buns. Enjoy!

I love sloppy joes. And I adore the turkey. I eat too much beef!
Sloppy Joes remind me of my childhood. I need to make them more often for my kids.
I know, they are such comfort food! The funny thing is that my kids won't eat regular sloppy joes now, they only like these.
Thanks, ladies, for your wonderful comments. Stop back soon to visit with me!!
