THE BEST SLOPPY JOES

The Best Sloppy Joes image

This is weeknight comfort food at its finest. We created a homemade sauce that is tangy and flavorful but also quick and easy. We used both ketchup and canned tomato sauce for lots of tomato-y zip and just a touch of brown sugar for a bit of sweetness and slight caramel finish. Green bell pepper is a key addition; it really enhances the other ingredients, elevating the flavor profile into the realm of a true sloppy joe.

Time 1h5m

Yield 8 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 1/4 pound ground turkey
1 carrot, grated
1/2 yellow onion, diced
One 6-ounce can pineapple juice
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 cup chicken stock
1/2 cup ketchup
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
One 15-ounce can tomato sauce
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 whole wheat buns, buttered and toasted
Bread and butter pickles

Steps:

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil. Add the turkey to the pan and brown until it is no longer pink and the meat crumbles, 8 minutes. Remove the turkey from the pan and set it aside in a bowl or plate. Add the other tablespoon of oil to the pan, followed by the carrot, onion and 2 tablespoons of the pineapple juice, and cook until the onion becomes translucent, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes. Next, add the chicken stock, ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, tomato sauce and the remaining pineapple juice. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook uncovered until thickened and reduced by one third, 15 to 20 minutes. Add the cooked turkey to the sauce and stir to combine. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes, to warm through. Season with salt and pepper.
Scoop the sloppy lo mixture evenly onto the buns and top with the pickles. Serve with 14 napkins, preferably near a bathtub.
