Why does Joe get all the attention? And who named them Sloppy Joe's anyway?! What about Sloppy Dave's or Sloppy Garrett's? Now that makes more sense!
Seriously, these were really good and really fast to make! It's a perfect meal for post holiday anti-kitchen syndrome! For the sake of trying to cook on the lighter side, I use lean ground turkey instead of ground meat. I was surprised that I couldn't tell the difference. So so good!
SLOPPY JOE'S/TOMS
Adapted from The Food Nanny Rescues Dinner
1 Tb butter
1 pd lean ground turkey or beef
1 cup ketsup
1/2 cup to 1 cup water (depends on how runny you like it)
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 Tb red wine vinegar
2 T Worcestershire sauce
2 tsp chili powder
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper (I used 1/4 tsp)
2 Tb dehydrated onions (optional)

cluck, cluck. I have yet to try these with turkey so I guess this is the year. It's been a challenge getting back into regular meals again...no more cheese ball for lunches & no more pie counting as dinner.
by the way, VEry handsome picture of your boyz. So very handsome.
Jody, It's so funny that you should post a recipe for this! I've been meaning to make Sloppy Joe's all week, but . . . . I even been too lazy for that. We had pancakes tonight for dinner. Anyhow--these look yummy and I'll be trying them soon for sure! Thanks! BTW, I never said so, but your Christmas photos of your home were beautiful! It looked so traditional :-). I loved it!
