Turkey Sloppy Joes

Amanda M


Ingredients
* 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, 2 turns of the pan
* 1 package, 1 1/3 pounds, ground turkey breast or lean ground turkey
* 1/2 red onion
* 1/2 red bell pepper
* 1 tablespoon grill seasoning blend (recommended: McCormick Montreal Grill Seasoning or Mrs. Dash seasoning for poultry)
* 2 tablespoons brown sugar
* 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
* 1 cup tomato sauce,( 8- ounce) can
* 4 crusty sandwich rolls, split

Directions
Add some extra-virgin olive oil, 2 turns of the pan heated to medium in a nice, slow stream. Add the ground turkey to the pan. Break the turkey up with a big wooden spoon as it starts to cook.
You need half a red onion chopped up into small pieces. Pull the seeds, white membrane and the top out of a half red bell pepper, and chop that up into small pieces, too. Add the veggies to the cooking meat, and stir it all together.

Next, mix in a small bowl: grill seasoning blend, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce and the tomato sauce. This will make your special sauce. When all the ingredients are combined, pour the sauce evenly over the meat and stir everything together really well. Turn the heat down to simmer, and cook the sloppy mixture for 10 minutes. Blow on a spoonful until cool, and taste it to see if you need to adjust the seasoning. Serve on buns.

Call me a freak, but I also think this would be great served on crusty garlic bread!
