This whole week I've been craving simple, childhood meals, maybe it's the baby. Here's a super easy recipe for Sloppy Joes. I had ground turkey on hand so that's what I made it with - also making it lower in calorie than the traditional recipe! You can make it in a regular pot but I love using my crock pot as much as possible. I think I'd rather have that smell permeating throughout my house all day than a scented candle!
Ingredients:
1 lb ground turkey
1 onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, diced
1/2 cup tomato paste
1/3 cup brown sugar
2 cups canned crushed tomatoes
3 tbspn apple cider vinegar
2 tbspn worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 tsp seasoning salt
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
Saute onions in a skillet over medium heat until soft, then add the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds. Add ground turkey and break up with a wooden spoon. Cook until the pink is gone from the turkey.
Add meat mixture to the crock pot with the rest of the ingredients. Cook on low for 6 to 7 hours. Serve on a hamburger bun with any side of your choosing (today I made french fries).
P.S. what do you think of my new blog design? The wonderful Polly at This Enchanted Pixie designed it for me! I'm super excited about it!
So glad you found me, love the name of your blog! Sloppy Joes are one of our fast family favorites. Congrats on your baby girl, such an exciting time!
