Turkey Sloppy Joes

One protein that I got to experiment with after I moved to the US is Turkey. I got introduced to it after a dear friend of mine suggested that it was more lean compared to chicken and the taste is kinda good too. Well it didn't suit our palate, it tasted bland and substituting turkey for chicken was a big n-no to the family until I started making turkey chillis, turkey burgers and then these turkey sloppy joes and believe all these are the best and loved by my family now. As for these turkey sloppy joes, they are the best, they are yummy, they are messy and they are perfect to stuff your face into.

~*What U Need*~ Ground turkey - 1/2 lb Onion - 1/4 cup, chopped Green pepper - 1/4 cup, chopped Red pepper - 1/4 cup, chopped Barbecue sauce - 1/4 cup - 1/2 cup Garlic powder - 1/4 tsp Salt and pepper How I Made it: In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, add the onion and brown it. Add the peppers and saute for a minute. Add the turkey and brown it. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in the garlic powder and barbecue sauce. Mix thoroughly. Reduce heat to low and simmer till the sauce is reduced to the consistency desired.

Serve on buns or bread of choice.

So thats it Folks...

Quinoa, Brown Rice Turkey Chilli

The thing about chillis is that they are so damn easy to put together, they taste yummy and it is protein rich. Well the last part depends on what you put into the chilli. I make chilli atleast once in a month because that is the only way that my son and huss take beans. And also I can add all the other stuff that they hesitate to eat into it and they never complain. This chilli is kinda a leftover version. I had some quinoa and some brown rice which couldn't be made into dishes of their own and hence I made this chilli. Warm chilli on a wintery night is bliss I would say.

~*What U Need*~ Quinoa - 1/2 cup Brown rice - 1/2 cup, cooked as per instructions Black beans - 1 can, rinsed and drained (15 oz can) Kidney beans - 1 can, rinsed and drained (15 oz c Corn - 1/2 cup Ground turkey - 1/2 lb Olive oil - 1 tbsp Onion -1 , chopped Garlic - 3, minced Diced tomatoes - 1, 15 oz can Tomato sauce - 1/2 of a can Chilli powder - 1/2 tbsp Cumin powder - 1 tsp Salt, pepper Cilantro leaves - 2 tbsp Juice of 1/2 lime Avocado - 1, diced Sour cream How I Made it: Rinse the qunioa and set aside. Heat oil in a large pan, add garlic and onion and cook till brown. Add the turkey and cook till almost done. Add the quinoa, brown rice, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, chili powder, cumin, and 2 cups water. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Reduce heat to low; simmer and cook until thickened, about 30 minutes. Stir in beans, corn, cilantro and lime juice, and heat for another 3 mins.
