These Turkey Joes are like a gourmet version of the old favorite Sloppy Joes (which never being a favorite of mine, I've refused to make them for my kids). Maddie loves them, though, as long as I leave the green peppers out of hers. They were originally designed to be open-faced, but I prefer adding a bun on top because it's easier to eat.
Ingredients:
19 oz package Italian turkey sausage, casings removed
- (I use plain ground turkey but opt for the Italian sausage flavored spaghetti sauce)
8 oz package fresh mushrooms, quartered (I omit)
1/2 green bell pepper, finely chopped
15 1/2 ounce jar of spaghetti sauce
1 garlic clove, minced (I use more)
2 Tbsp tomato paste
1 tsp dried onion flakes
1/4 tsp pepper
hamburger buns (I use wheat)
grated parmesan cheese
shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions:
Cook sausage in a large frying pan or Dutch oven over medium heat, stirring often, 10 minutes or until meat crumbles and is no longer pink; drain. Add mushrooms and bell pepper; cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, 5 minutes. Stir in next 5 ingredients; bring to boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, 20 minutes.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Separate burger buns and put on an aluminum foil-lined baking sheet. Bake 5 minutes until toasted.
Spoon sausage mixture onto toasted bread and sprinkle with cheeses. Bake for 5-7 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
