Buffalo Turkey Sloppy Joes

This recipe caught my eye immediately when I flipped through the new issue of Taste of Home magazine.  Homemade sloppy joes and buffalo chicken tenders are both big hits at my home. This recipe seemed to combine these two recipes together. Adults will enjoy the sprinkling of blue cheese on top.  I now have a  new recipe for our family favorites.

(printable recipe)
2 1/2 pounds ground turkey
2 celery ribs, chopped
1 medium carrot, grated
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 cups tomato sauce
2/3 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup Louisiana-style hot sauce
3 tablespoons brown sugar
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
12 hamburger buns
1 cup crumbled blue cheese


In large skillet, cook ground turkey, celery, onions, carrots and garlic over medium high heat until meat is no longer pink.  Add tomato sauce, chicken broth, hot sauce, brown sugar, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce and black pepper.  Stir well to cover meat with sauce.  Cook on stove top for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.


Serve meat mixture on buns.  Top with more hot sauce if desired.  Sprinkle blue cheese on top.
