Jean Anderson, author of The American Century Cookbook, traces the origin of sloppy joes to the depression-era 1930s, and the popularity of this messy ground-beef sandwich increased markedly in the fifties and sixties. We update it with ground turkey, canned diced chilies and ale. Ingredients:
3 tablespoons olive oil |
1 1/2 pounds ground turkey |
1 large green bell pepper, chopped |
4 large garlic cloves |
3 tablespoons chili powder |
1 1/4 cups ale or beer |
3/4 cup bottled chili sauce or ketchup |
1 4-ounce can diced green chilies |
2 tablespoons worcestershire sauce |
1 cup finely chopped green onions |
6 sourdough rolls, split, toasted |
2 cups shredded romaine lettuce or packaged garden salad mix |
Directions:
1. Heat oil in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Add turkey, green pepper and garlic and sauté until turkey is no longer pink, breaking up meat with back of fork, about 10 minutes. Mix in chili powder; stir 1 minute. Add next 4 ingredients. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until mixture thickens, stirring often, about 15 minutes. Mix in green onions; season with salt and pepper.
2. Arrange roll bottoms on plates. Spoon sloppy joe mixture over; top with lettuce and roll tops.
