Sloppy Janes

Recently, I made Robb Wolf’s sloppy Joe recipe from his book, The Paleo Solution, but because I made it with ground turkey breast instead of ground beef, the meal becomes a Jane rather than a Joe. Apparently, turkey is female?

Anyway, in addition to the protein switch, I made a few other changes to the sloppy janes as well. No cocoa powder, ( it’s an ‘illegal’ food on the SCD, which I currently have to comply to), added mustard and garlic powder, upped the tomato sauce, etc. To see the full recipe with my modifications, check it out below.

Sloppy Janes

Ingredients:

• 1 lb ground turkey breast
• 1 cup onion, chopped
• 1.5 cups tomato puree (I like Bionaturae’s strained tomatoes)
• 1 Tbsp chili powder
• 3/4 tsp yellow mustard powder
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
• 1/2 tsp sea salt
• 1-2 tsp raw honey

Directions:

1. Cook ground turkey and onion in a large skillet over medium heat for 10-15 minutes, or until the meat is browned.
2. Stir in the remaining ingredients and heat for another 10-15 minutes. Serve with vegetable(s) of choice.

Note: the first time around, we ate these open face on top of portobello caps that I browned in the skillet. The second night, we ate the mixture on top of my homemade biscuits with avocado garnish. Both were delicious!
