Simply Cookin' Chef Mitzi Stinson prepares one of the simplest recipes yet - Saucy BBQ Sloppy Joes.

This not-so-traditional recipe gives the family-favorite sloppy joe new life. Ground turkey meat is a healthy exchange for beef without trading away any of the flavor.

To keep the meal healthy, serve with a side of fresh fruit or homemade cottage fries.

Difficulty: Easy

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 15 minutes

Yield: 4 sandwiches

Recipe courtesy Kraft Kitchens

 

1 lb. lean ground turkey

1 each: green pepper and onion, finely chopped

1/2 cup barbecue sauce (Mitzi uses honey barbecue)

1/2 cup water

1/4 lb. (4 oz.) Velveeta pasteurized prepared cheese product, diced

4 hamburger buns, split

 

Brown meat in large nonstick skillet on medium-high heat; drain.

Add peppers and onions; cook 5 min., stirring occasionally.

Stir in barbecue sauce, water and Velveeta; cook 2 min. or until Velveeta is melted and mixture is well blended, stirring frequently.

Meanwhile, toast the buns. Fill buns evenly with meat mixture.
