Turkey Sweet Potato Sloppy Joes

There isn't really anything super exciting about these sloppy joes. I mean, how exciting can sloppy joes really be? But, they get the job done, they get sweet potatoes in your family's bellies and this recipe can feed 8 to 10 (if you use small buns) or dinner for 4 plus leftovers. I really love recipes that give me at least two nights of dinners.

Ingredients:

• 1 lb. ground turkey
• 1 sweet potato, peeled and diced
• 1 small onion, diced
• 2 6oz. cans tomato paste
• Worcestershire sauce
• salt & pepper
• Lawry's season salt
• 1- 2 cups water
• olive oil

Instructions:

• Pour about 2 Tbs. of olive oil in a large skillet.
• Saute onion and sweet potato in olive oil until onion is just soft.
• Add turkey and cook until browned.
• Add a couple (or 5) dashes of Worcestershire sauce.
• Season with salt, pepper and Lawry's season salt.
• Add tomato paste and mix until combined.
• Slowly add water and stir until you get the sloppy consistency you desire.
• You don't have to use all the water, or if it's too thick, add more.
• The next night I reheated and served over rigatoni pasta.

I can also see adding chili powder and some spice to turn this into chili for game day. Yum!

Enjoy!
