![]() I know some call them by other names, but to me ground meat in a tangy "tomatoey" sauce served in a hamburger bun, is a sloppy joe, and always been popular at our house. How do you make them at home (if you do)? Now that we're more conscious of our diet, I've been using ground turkey, instead of beef, and makes a excellent sandwich. Judy |

I think it would taste better with beef. If you're trying to avoid beef fat, just use leaner ground beef. "Besides*, do you even know the difference between beef fat and turkey fat? I assume the answer is no. Using ground turkey because it's cheaper, or if you happen to like the taste better is perfectly legit. Using it because you think that it's a lot healthful than beef is bogus. In some ways, it is less healthful > > Judy --Bryan |

I suspect that they may grind in the skin, and perhaps too much fat. etc. If you grind it yourself, and put in the lean stuff, different story. |

At least up here in Canada, in Canada way up yonder to the north, (except for Haffner) they changed the formula for Dr. Pepper. I don't like it as much anymore. It's kind of creamy like. |

If you knew more about fat, you'd probably be less concerned about animal fats, especially in moderation. I bought a bit less than 1-1/2# of ground sirloin, and I melted about a tablespoon of refined (tasteless) coconut oil into the pan before browning it.. It's going to end up as chili. I think the skin is the best tasting part of poultry, and of pork for that matter. --Bryan |

I sure don't take the skin off of roast turkey. I am a tad concerned however about what exactly goes into ground poultry here (fatwise). And the amounts in there. I know that animal fats are made out to be worse than they are. Like I said, even in my original post, 'too much fat' is not something I want. The Inuit people did not have a healthy diet in the past. Too much fat/meat??? Even all that good ole' seal oil didn't counteract the effects of their diet. Now, their diet is prolly less healthy if they are getting all the processed foods that they never had before. Having said that, Ted Nugent (the guy that wants to kill people who wear laundry on their head) swears by venison. > > --Bryan |

I don't know if what I do is really a SJ but I was talking about it in a chat and a couple persons from the US told me so, let's see. I sautee some minced white onion in EVO oil over low heat, sometimes I add garlic, then add not-very-lean ground beef and raise the heat to medium high for some minutes during which I brown the meat, sometimes putting some white wine in it. After that I add a little of tomato preserve (just tomato and salt), salt, pepper and sometimes hot pepper, switch the heat to minimum and cover the pan. I let it go like that for about 30 minutes, during which I sometimes stir it and add some water if it's drying up. I love to serve it as a sandwich in ciabatta bread, but it works well on fluffy almost hamburger-like buns. For an extra I sometimes add cheese, if it's thin and easy to melt I put it directly in the sandwich, otherwise I put it in the pan when I turn the heat off and let it melt there. This recipe comes from a simple adaptation of a dish my mom cooked when I was a toddler, the only differences are that she used to serve it in dishes and she didn't add cheese to it, but the basics were all the ground meat, onion and some tomato. |

You can not know how right you are, also on this side of the pond: kebab vendors here in Italy use many meats but the majority is now using poultry. I once happend to see the cook bringing in a new skewer so I got tosee the thing as it is: totally yellow apart from some spot here and there, and that means *almost all skin*. Sheesh, that was the last time I entered a poultry kebab shop for 3 good years. Then this summer I found another shop which uses poultry and their skewers were for the most part lean meat, so I go there now and then, other poultry kebab vendors are all marked with a "NO NO" |

I don't much either. I have food processed skinless chicken breast because my son prefers chicken to beef for tacos, but I don't like it much, and the cleanup is a bear. Personally, I'd rather have 100% chicken skin than skinless breast meat. --Bryan |

Personally, > I'd rather have 100% chicken skin than > skinless breast meat. My newsreader hiccoughed yesterday about noon, and no new posts starting showing up until this morning, so have missed a lot of the posts, as they just plain are not here! (Boo! Hiss!) My hubby isn't fond of ground, or chopped turkey, but our one daughter has been on a diet, so now instead of using beef in tacos, or sloppy joes, I've been using turkey, or chicken, and we really like it. He grumbles, but I notice he still eats it and doesn't complain after! ![]() This is what I use now for the sloppy joes and we think it's better than any of the beef ones we've had over the years. Turkey Sloppy Joes 1 lb. ground turkey breast 1 small onion, chopped 1/2 cup chopped celery 1/4 cup chopped green pepper 1 can Healthy Request tomato soup 1/2 cup ketchup 1 tbsp. brown sugar 2 tbsp. prepared mustard 1/4 tsp. pepper In a pan, coated with non-sticking cooking spray, cook turkey with veggies until meat is no longer pink; drain, if necessary. Stir in remaining ingredients and transfer to slow cooker, cover and cook on low for 4 hours. Serve on buns. (I just simmer in the pan for a half hour, or so, if I don't plan that far ahead). Serves 6. Each serving equals 247 calories, so not all that bad. Judy |
