Sloppy Joe's (BIG HIT @ Casa de Lamotta)

Who knew homemade sloppy joe's would be a big hit in my house. I made this recipe last week and my kids ate it up! Super simple and delicious.  Good way to get veggies in without kids knowing :)

Sloppy Joe's 

What you need: 

• 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
• Hamburger Buns or bread of choice
• 12 celery stick
• 12 carrot sticks

• 
  

How to make:

Place a big skillet over medium high heat for you. 
Add some extra-virgin olive oil.

Add the ground turkey to the pan. 
Break the turkey up with a big wooden spoon.

Chop up 1/2 of a red onion and 1/2 red bell pepper.

Mix in a small bowl: grill seasoning blend, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce and the tomato 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. 

Place meat on buns and server with celery & carrots. :)
