Healthy Turkey Sloppy Joe's

When I think of sloppy Joe's I think of this.....

or this....



But now I just think this... (minus the creepy wolf)

This week we had a healthy turkey sloppy Joe that was comforting, tasty, and filling for man, woman, or lunch lady.


I served ours with a side of cornbread (53 cent Jiffy box mix), roasted okra, and some brown rice.


Try this recipe next time you want a healthy, filling meal.  Just try to not get the song stuck in your head. "Sloppy Joe, Slop sloppy Joe...."

Random question - what word is it always hard for you to spell? Mine is Worcestershire.
