"Sexy Joes"

I recently acquired the Biggest Loser cookbook. I've been trying several different dishes and have yet to find one that I'm disappointed with. This is a healthy, but satisfying alternative to your everyday sloppy joes... and tastes better!

What you need:

1 pound extra lean ground turkey
1 tablespoon white vinegar
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 and 1/2 teaspoons honey
1/2 teaspoon hot pepper sauce (I left it out because I'm not a big spicy fan)
2/3 cup chopped yellow onion
1/3 cup chopped green bell pepper
3/4 cup low sodium tomato sauce
3/4 cup chili sauce
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
Whole wheat buns

What to do:

Mist a medium nonstick skillet with olive oil spray and set it over medium-high heat. Add turkey. Cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, breaking into large chunks, for 4 to 6 minutes or until no longer pink.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine vinegar, Worcestershire, honey and hot-pepper sauce. Whisk to blend and set aside.

Drain off any liquid that has accumulated in the pan. Add the onion, bell pepper, tomato sauce, chili sauce, chili powder and the reserved vinegar mixture to the pan. Stir to blend. Bring the mixture to a boil then reduce the heat so mixture simmers. Cook for 20 minutes or until the mixture is thickened.

Spoon over buns and serve immediately!
