The other day I had a hankering for sloppy joes. Then I realized I had no can of Sloppy Joe sauce in the house! What’s a girl to do? Luckily, the Internet (plus a little ingenuity) came to our rescue. I discovered a pretty good recipe at allrecipes.com, modified it a bit to suit my tastes (i.e., no onions), and founded our very own Boyd family Sloppy Joe recipe. And you don’t even have to pay 69\u00c2\u00a2 for it.<\/p>\n
*Sloppy Boyds*<\/p>\n
1 T olive oil
\n3-5 garlic cloves, minced
\n1 cup chopped green bell pepper
\n1 pound lean ground turkey (93% lean)
\n4 hamburger buns<\/p>\n
sauce:
\n1 T brown sugar
\n1 T cider vinegar
\n1\/2 c ketchup
\n1\/2 c barbecue sauce
\n2 T prepared mustard
\n1\/4 t cinnamon
\n1\/2 t salt
\nhot sauce, to taste (optional)<\/p>\n
In a large skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil. Add garlic and pepper and saute 1-2 minutes. Add turkey; cook until browned, then drain off excess grease. <\/p>\n
Combine sauce ingredients in a separate bowl. (This can be done ahead of time if you are trying to foil a fussy-baby timebomb.) Add sauce to meat; simmer for 10-30 minutes on low heat. Spoon up onto hamburger buns. Serve with knife, fork, and several napkins.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
