Move over, Manwich! I made my own sloppy joes for dinner last night from the BFL cookbook. They were de-lic-ious! The teenager even ate them! He scoffed that I was serving them on whole wheat mini-buns. (“Moooommm, why do we have to eat heal-thy?” he asked with a nasally snare.) But then he came back for seconds. The chili powder & Tabasco sauce did not make them spicy at all, but gave them just the right amount of deliciousness! The recipe says it makes 4 burgers, but we got 5 out of them, plus another sandwich for my lunch today.
BFL Clean Sloppy Joes
1.2 pounds lean ground turkey (I used Jennie-O’s 97% fat-free)
1/4 t. ground black pepper
1/2 red onion, chopped
1 can (8 oz.) no salt added tomato sauce
1/2 c. ketchup (use sugar-free if you can find it!)
1/4 c. bar-b-q sauce (I used Organics True Texas Barbeque Sauce because it was the lowest sugar I could find, but I’d like something sugar-free. Any suggestions? Maybe I’ll try making my own one day!)
1 t. chili powder
Dash of hot pepper sauce
In a large skillet, combine the ground turkey, black pepper & chopped onion. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally until no longer pink. Now get the midgets involved. One can open the can, and the other can measure. Let the midgets add tomato sauce, ketchup, bbq sauce, chili powder. Add the dash of Tabasco sauce for flavor after the teenager has left the kitchen, because he’s already complaining that you put in chili powder. (“You’d better not make it too hot,” he whines.)
That's a clean burger!
I served my sloppy joes on whole wheat mini buns with lettuce, tomato, pickles & spicy brown mustard. Delicious!
