Turkey Sloppy Joes With Coleslaw
Raymond Hom
How to Make It
Step 1
In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the turkey, onion, and garlic and cook, breaking the meat up with a spoon, until browned, 3 to 5 minutes.
Step 2
Mix the tomato sauce, sugar, barbecue sauce, and Worcestershire into the turkey mixture; season with ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Reduce heat and simmer until thickened, 3 to 5 minutes.
Step 3
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together the sour cream, vinegar, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Add the cabbage and carrots and toss to combine.
Step 4
Serve the turkey mixture on the buns with the coleslaw.

I'm not sure why this recipe is only three stars. Everyone loved this, even my picky 3-yr old. Best sloppy joes I've ever had. Plus, it was SO easy, it took maybe took 30 seconds more time to make this than the canned (yuck) version.

Why does Real Simple think that just because a recipe has "messy" in the name, kids will like it? Most kids don't like chopped up onions in a dish, at least two of mine don't. I do have one child that would probably try it, and it sounds good to me personally, but I feel like RS recipes are almost always unnecessarily complicated and use expensive and/or hard to find ingredients. Not really that "simple" at all.

Had to make this with ground chicken, since there is no turkey available here (Amsterdam). I think the chicken was actually a bit too lean for this. I have to say I prefer traditional sloppy joes to this version. The flavor was fine though.

Why is the sodium so high. Also to reduce the calories....do you really need barbeque sauce and brown sugar. Kind of wasted calories.
