Homemade Turkey Sloppy Joes

 

We make these sloppy joes with ground turkey. Even though we are big proponents of beef and eat beef all the time, the Turkey makes for a much cleaner meal. Any flavoring which might be lost is replaced with the home made sauce. Just try it, you'll like it.

 

Ingredients:

 

 

  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 tbsp. corn oil
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • Pepper as desired
  • 1 lb. ground turkey (95% fat free is still tasty)
  • 3/4 c. ketchup
  • 1 3/4 tbsp. vinegar
  • 1 3/4 tbsp. prepared mustard
  • 3 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce

 

 

Dice onion into 1/4 inch pieces. Remove excess moisture from ground turkey with a paper towel. Add oil to pan along with onion, salt, pepper and turkey. Cook for 7-10 minutes stirring occasionally until meat is browned.


In a bowl, combine the rest of the ingredients. Add to pan and stir into the meat/onion mixture. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes.

 

Serve open faced over rolls. Use onion or pretzel rolls for bonus points.

 

 

Cook onion in shortening and brown meat; drain. Combine all ingredients and cook 30 to 45 minutes. Serve on buns.

Spicy Mexican Braised Pork with Roasted Tomatillo Sauce

This dish is spicy, savory and has a great mouth feel. You can prepare this dish well in advance and just reheat in the oven when you want to serve.

 

I prefer to serve with basmati rice, chopped cilantro and lime wedges.

Red Curry with Beef

This recipe was inspired by a Red Beef Tay-Po curry I had at Stir Crazy Thai in Kirribiili Australia. This dish was the most tasty Thai dish I've ever had and I salivated for months thinking of this recipe. So far, this is the best I've done duplicating the recipe.

Chicken Sourdough Bread

I was inspired to make chicken bread because of our recent trip to Australia. In Australia we had chicken flavored potato chips which were rather good. I wondered how good chicken flavored bread would taste so I played around and made a batch.

Sourdough Bacon Bread

This really tasty bread recipe requires a proper sourdough starter. You can get a sourdough starter from a variety of ways, one of which is catching it out of thin air. Don't believe me?

Try this for size. Make a slurry of equal parts flour and water, stir until smooth. Cover with a cheese cloth to keep out bugs and let in yeast and leave it on a window sill for a few days. The wild yeasts floating all around us will gather and start to work. Once the mixure starts to bubble, you have your very own locally grown sourdough starter.

Cool stuff!  Anyways, let's get down to business. We've got bacon to incorporate into foodstuffs!
