Turkey and Pinto Bean Sloppy Joes on Whole Grain Buns
Most Greenville children head back to school this week. To celebrate, I am posting a popular dish that seems to always be a family favorite– it certainly is in my house.
To make these easy Sloppy Joes, simmer ground turkey breast, onions, green peppers, carrots, pinto beans, crushed tomatoes, chili powder, honey, and low-sodium soy sauce. Serve them over whole grain buns with sliced apples and grapes.
Be sure to choose a lean package of meat such as ground turkey or chicken “breast.” Packages that are simply labeled “ground turkey” usually have the dark meat and skin ground in there and may be higher in fat than beef.
Serve them “sloppy” or serve them “neat” with a fork.
Want to make them meatless? Skip the meat and use extra beans.
Want to skip the bun? Serve them over a baked sweet potato.
The cooked turkey mixture can be frozen. Feel free to double the batch and freeze half for later.
