Italian Sloppy Joes image

This popular sloppy Joe was created by a cook named Joe in 1930 at a Sioux City, Iowa, cafe, and was first described as a loose meat sandwich. Since then, it's been a popular sandwich in homes and restaurants everywhere. My version goes Italian, thanks to the addition of garlic, basil, and oregano.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 portobello mushrooms
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup diced onion
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1 pound lean ground turkey
2 tablespoons tomato paste
3 cups chopped tomatoes
1/4 cup chopped basil
1 1/2 teaspoons oregano leaves, chopped

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • 2. Remove the stems from the portobellos. Place the mushrooms gill side up on a baking sheet, transfer to the oven, and roast until they are browned and just tender, about 10 minutes.
  • 3. Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the onion and sweat until translucent, about 10 minutes.
  • 4. Add the garlic and cook another 3 minutes. Increase the heat to high, add the turkey, and cook until browned.
  • 5. Add the tomato paste and tomatoes and cook until a thick sauce is formed and you can see the bottom of the pan when you stir the turkey mixture.
  • 6. Finish with the chopped basil and oregano. Serve atop the roasted mushroom caps.
