I adapted a popular beef slow cooker recipe to the stovetop and modified the ingredients to better enhance ground turkey (beef base-beef bouillon concentrate-is key for making it taste like hamburger). Even my picky six-year old gobbled this up. My search for the perfect recipe for sloppy joes is finally over! Ingredients:
1 1/4 lbs ground turkey |
1/2 red onion, chopped |
2 -3 garlic cloves, minced (or crushed with a garlic press) |
2 stalks celery, chopped |
1 red pepper, diced (i use trader joe's frozen tri-colored pepper medley) |
1 cup ketchup |
2 tablespoons brown sugar |
1 1/2 tablespoons prepared mustard |
1 1/2 tablespoons cider vinegar |
1 1/2 tablespoons worcestershire sauce |
1 teaspoon chili powder |
1 teaspoon beef base |
1 dash liquid smoke |
8 hamburger buns (or sourdough rolls) |
Directions:
1. In a large skillet, on medium-high heat, saute ground turkey, beef base, onions, celery, and garlic for about 7 minutes (the meat juice will dissolve the beef base-do NOT drain the meat).
2. Stir in remaining ingredients and cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
3. Reduce heat and gently simmer for at least 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4. Spoon onto buns or rolls and serve.
