Spicy Turkey Sloppy Joes

From Bon Appetit - serves 2, with leftovers the next day.  

This was so amazing, words cannot describe. Who knew something with 'sloppy' in the title could be so wicked. Simple to prepare, great flavours, ultimate comfort food. I felt like I was in a groovy diner in the southwestern US! A must-try; will absolutely be on heavy rotation here.

3 tbsp olive oil
1 ½ lbs ground turkey
1 large bell pepper, chopped
4 large garlic cloves, chopped
3 tbsp chili powder
1 ¼ cups dark ale
3/4 cup ketchup (I used Heinz chilli sauce)
1 14-ounce can diced green chilies
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
¾ finely chopped green onions

4 whole wheat buns (ours were so yummy!)
A bunch of shredded green cabbage

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add turkey, green pepper and garlic and cook until turkey is cooked through, breaking up the meat. Add chili powder, ale, ketchup, chiles and worcestershire sauce, stir to combine. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook until the mixture thickens slightly. Stir in green onions, and season to taste.

Serve piled high on toasted buns, topped with a big handful of shredded cabbage.

  1. This sounds delicious. Is it wrong that I'd consider this as a breakfast dish? :-)
