From Cooking Light, Jan 1997. Original calls for 6 oz. ground round and 6 oz turkey breast. I have had really good luck feeding this to toddlers and veggie-phobic adults! Feel free to play with the veggies to your own preference; tonight I made these with 1 c mushroom and 1 c finely diced zucchini squash. I also prefer balsamic or cider vinegar here to the red wine. Finally, this does tend to turn out pretty saucy , so if you like your joes thicker you might consider adding a bit of tomato paste. Enjoy! Ingredients:
1 teaspoon olive oil |
2 cups mushrooms |
1 cup onion |
1/2 cup green bell pepper |
1/4 cup celery |
1/4 cup carrot |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
12 ounces lean ground turkey |
1/4 cup ketchup |
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar |
1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce |
1 teaspoon dried oregano |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon ground pepper |
1 (8 ounce) can no-salt-added tomato sauce |
Directions:
1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
2. Add mushrooms and next 7 ingredients (mushrooms through ground round); saute 5 minutes until meat is browned, stirring to crumble.
3. Stir in ketchup and next 6 ingredients (ketchup through tomato sauce); bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Serve on toasted hamburger buns.
