This little recipe is a BIG winner in my opinion! My friend Patty shared this with me, and not only is it healthy, it's also hearty {and my husband LOVED it!}. You'll just have to try it for yourself!
Ingredients:
~ 1 tbsp. EVOO
~ 1 medium onion, diced
~ 1 garlic clove, minced
~ 1 small jalapeno, deseeded
~ 1 tsp chili powder
~ 1/2 tsp dried oregano
~ 1 lb ground turkey
~ 7 oz can Mexicorn, drained
~ 1 1/2 cups salsa
~ 1 tbsp dark brown sugar
~ Light hamburger buns {I used Weight Watcher's buns}
Directions:
1. Saute onion, garlic & jalapeno in EVOO until soft
2. Add chili powder & oregano and cook one more minute
3. Add turkey & corn and cook until nearly dry {approximately 4 minutes}
4. Stir in salsa & brown sugar, stirring until thickened
5. Serve on hamburger buns
6. ENJOY!
**I also served my sloppy joes with roasted asparagus and sweet potato wedges. YUM & HEALTHY!
**This recipe made plenty, so I have a decent amount of leftovers for work lunches this week. BONUS!
**I've got another "Patty" recipe coming this week, and my mouth is already watering at just the thought of it!

ReplyDeleteI knew you'd love this one. It's really good, Bec. Get home -- NOW!
ReplyDeletei wrote this down the day you posted it and just made it on wednesday. matt and i both really liked it - i will definitely make it again!!! the only down side, i never cut up jalapenos before and WOW does that juice sting! i rubbed my face afterward (even after i washed my hands) and it burnt me - lol :) when i put my contacts in the next morning, my eyes burnt - lol :) i was pretty banged up after cooking this meal - hahahah
ReplyDeleteAwww Ame! You poor girl! I should have mentioned in my post how HOT those little chili peppers are. That's why you deseed them -- the heat is in the inside/seeds. I use a spoon to scoop them out and never have to touch them. Ughhh -- I'm sorry!
