Turkey Sloppy Joes

The other day we were watching Food Network and there was a special on Sloppy Joes - so Saugar goes "ooh i haven't had one in years". Well I haven't had one ummm ever. So typically I guess they are made out of beef so we decided to make our own with turkey. I didn't expect to like it honestly and was doing it more for Saugar, but i loved it! And it was so easy to make!

 

Ingredients:

1 Pound ground turkey

1 Onion finely chopped

1 Capsicum finely chopped

2 green chillies (or more) finely chopped

2-3 cloves garlic finely chopped

2-3 tbsp barbeque sause

2 tbsp tomato sauce

2 tsp chilli sauce

1 tsp worchestershire sause

1 tsp vinegar

1-2 tsp paprika

1-2 tsp cumin powder

Buns

 

In a hot pan brown the turkey. Once the turkey is fully cooked, take it out. In the same pan, fry the onion, capsicum, chillies & garlic. Half way through cooking the vegetables, add the spices (we used paprika and cumin but no reason not to add others - or increase the volumne). Once they are all cooked, add the turkey in and mix together. Add all the sauces and salt, mix, lower the temperature and let it simmer for as long as you can. We let it cook covered on a low heat for an hour and a half and i think that really got all the flavours together. Once you are happy with the flavours (adjust spice as you want) - uncover, increase the heat till a lot of the liquid evaporates. It shouldn't be totally dry since they are meant to be 'sloppy'

 

Toast the buns on a pan with a bit of butter. Then serve the turkey on the bun
