Hungry Girl's Sloppy Janes

Eating healthy doesn't have to mean giving up your favorite comfort foods. Hungry Girl Lisa Lillien's take on the classic Sloppy Joe cuts the calories in half without sacrificing any flavor! Made with ground turkey and loaded with veggies, Hungry Girl's "Sloppy Janes" have only 265 calories per sandwich instead of the traditional 685. 

Ingredients 

1 lb raw lean ground turkey

1 tsp dry steak seasoning blend

1/8 tsp salt

1/2 cup chopped onion

1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper

1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

1 tbsp red wine vinegar

1 3/4 cups canned crushed tomatoes

2 tbsp tomato paste

1 tbsp sweetener or granulated white sugar

5 light hamburger buns

 

Directions

Spray a large skillet with nonstick spray and bring to medium-high heat. Add turkey and sprinkle with steak seasoning and salt. Cook and crumble for about 8 minutes, until mostly cooked.

 

Reduce heat to medium. Add onion, bell pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and vinegar. Mix well, and cook and crumble for 5 minutes, or until meat is fully cooked.

 

Reduce heat to low. Add crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, and sweetener or sugar. Cook and stir until hot, about 5 minutes.

 

Toast buns, if desired. Evenly distribute the mixture among the bottom buns, and then finish off with the tops of the buns. Enjoy!
