Turkey Sloppy Joes

My mom makes the best sloppy joes ever. I think that sloppy joes are great, because they are a comfort food. Usually comfort foods aren't that healthy. I think that we made them a little healthier by using ground turkey instead of ground beef. 

Ingredients:

• 1 pound of ground turkey
• 1/2 c. ketchup (you can also add a little barbeque sauce to this for a spicier taste)
• 2 TBSP vinegar
• 1 TBSP dried onions (or 1/4 to 1/2 cup of finely chopped onions)
• 1 TBSP Worcestershire sauce
• 2 TBSP sugar
• 1 T. mustard

Directions:

1) Cook ground turkey and onions until brown, drain off fat.

2) Add the rest of the ingredients; you may need to add a little water, too. 

3) Stir well

4) Simmer for 1/2 hour over low heat

Turkey Meatballs and Laughing Cow Chicken

We bought 5 pounds of ground turkey (on sale). It's supposed to be healthier for you than ground beef, and I am trying to eat a minimal amount of red meat (for health reasons), so we tried out a few different recipes. 

This recipe for turkey meatballs turned out great. They were a little garlicky, though. We ate them with a vegetarian version of this spaghetti sauce. 

We also made ground turkey taco meat. We haven't eaten it yet, though, because we froze it. We used our normal taco seasoning recipe. 

Finally, the "Laughing Cow Chicken" recipe had been posted on several cooking blogs that I read. I love Laughing Cow cheese, so I decided to try this recipe out. It was okay; I don't know if I just did a bad job of cooking it or what, but I didn't love it. It wasn't terrible, but it just wasn't my style.
