I spend more time than I should pondering this question. I LOVE food. I love cooking it. I love eating it. I love restaurants. I love cooking for family and friends. The problem, simply put, is that much of what tastes good is not good for us. So sad!!!! As I age and things expand and drop and shift and pop, I struggle to continue my love affair with food in a healthy way. This is especially hard when you add the added factor of fatigue to the mix. When I come home from a long day at school, I do not usually yearn for a salad, I dream of comfort food. So, one of most recent attempts to make comfort food healthy was a very spur-of-the-moment re-take on Sloppy Joes; we will call these Just As Sloppy but not as Greasy Joes.
Ingredients:
1 package ground TURKEY
1 package ground TURKEY BREAST
1 14.5 oz. can diced tomatoes and green chiles
1 green pepper
1 onion
1/2 - 1/4 cup brown sugar (depending on how sweet you like it)
1 bottle CHILI SAUCE
Tabasco Sauce
Salt/Pepper
Garlic Powder
Directions:
1. Chop green pepper and onion and saute in small amount of olive oil
2. Once veggies are softened, add both packages of ground turkey and cook.
3. Add garlic powder, s/p and the brown sugar.
4. Add the can of tomatoes/chilies
5. Add chili sauce and several dashes of Tabasco
6. Let simmer for a while--the longer the better.
7. Serve on little wheat sliders
