My husband has a handful of recipes that he can cook: sloppy joes, goulash, chicken fried rice and\u00a0scrambled eggs. Last week, I\u00a0tried to make his sloppy joes, but with turkey\u00a0instead of hamburger. And I have to tell you, he sabotaged\u00a0me.<\/p>\n

He denies it, but there was some very critical information missing the first time I made these.\u00a0Omitting the water makes for an outrageously sloppy joe. I do not recommend doing this. Lucky for you, I persevered\u00a0and tried them again last night, which meant he got to eat them\u00a0twice in two weeks. I think this\u00a0was his plan all along.\u00a0I mean, take a look at that photo. It inspires some trickery, doesn’t it?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The good news is these sloppy joes\u00a0come together really quickly, leaving you time to enjoy your evening. We had ours with some green beans tossed with butter and almonds, but they would also be delicious\u00a0with sweet potato fries, fruit or a small salad. Or, if you’d like to have them the way my husband\u00a0serves them, add a side of\u00a0\u00a0macaroni and cheese. <\/p>\n

Now, here’s the thing about this recipe. There really isn’t one. My husband learned how to make\u00a0sloppy joes\u00a0from my mother-in-law<\/a>, so there’s a lot of “add a little of this or that until it tastes and looks right.” I did my best to measure\/eyeball the ingredients, but I’d suggest starting with my suggested amounts and then adjusting the recipe to suit your tastes.<\/p>\n

Turkey Sloppy Joes<\/strong><\/p>\n

Serves 2<\/em><\/p>\n

1\/2 lb. ground turkey<\/p>\n

A couple dashes\u00a0of Worcestershire sauce<\/p>\n

1\/2 c. ketchup<\/p>\n

1\/2 c. water<\/p>\n

A splash of vinegar<\/p>\n

1 tbsp. dark brown sugar<\/p>\n

1 tsp. yellow mustard<\/p>\n

1\/2 tbsp of butter (a sliver is fine)<\/p>\n

In a non-stick pan, brown the ground turkey. Season it with salt and pepper. When the turkey is cooked, add the ketchup and water. Stir to combine. Add the Worcestershire, yellow mustard, dark brown sugar and vinegar. Stir again. Give it a taste. See if it needs\u00a0more\u00a0of any of the\u00a0ingredients. Adjust accordingly. Season with salt and pepper. When the flavors\u00a0taste good\u00a0to you,\u00a0add a pat of butter, swirling it into the mixture.<\/p>\n

Serve on a hamburger bun. I\u00a0added few shavings of Parmigiano\u00a0Reggiano to ours. It really brings the flavor home.<\/p>\n\"Facebook\"<\/a>\"twitter\"<\/a>\"pinterest\"<\/a>\"mail\"<\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
