Sloppy Joes

Monday- 3mile run (27min, 2sec)  I ran, I ran!!  
It sucked, it sucked!! 
I mean I sucked....wind.  I've only ran once since March 8th.  It was a marathon but still.   That is 3 and a half weeks!  Needless to say, I have lost some fitness.  My knee bothered me a bit the last 5min but nothing to serious. I go to the Physical Therapist tomorrow to get that knee worked out.  I think I'll be back to 100% soon.
Tuesday-2000yd swim My swim is already feeling better.  Today, even with major sinus headache, I hammered out 2000.  I'll take it.  I would also like this allergy season to be over.  It is kicking my butt this year. 
Ahcoo!  
Excuse me.
My athletic skills may leave a little to be desired right now but my driving skills are still on point.
You could slide a piece of paper through there.  
When you drive a 747 it's a bit tight parking it in the garage.
That takes finesse.
I got it!
My family's favorite sloppy joes do not take any finesse at all.
Smashing all the buns in the bag so the tops are crackly?  Now, that's tricky.  The child who was responsible has mad bun smashing skills.  
I have been making these for years.  I have no idea where I got the recipe.  It makes a big batch so I freeze half of it so I have sloppy joes for another meal on a busy night.


Sloppy Joes
2 (20oz) packages lean ground turkey
1 medium onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1-1/2 Tbl sugar
2 Tbl flour
1/2 tsp pepper
2 cup ketchup
2 Tbl prepared mustard
2 Tbl Barbecue sauce
2 Tbl Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup water
In a large nonstick skillet, cook turkey and onion over medium heat until turkey is no longer pink.  Add garlic; cook for 1-2 minutes longer.
Stir in the sugar, flour and pepper; cook for a minute.  Add ketchup, mustard, barbecue sauce, Worcestershire sauce and water.  Bring to a boil.  Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 10 minutes.
Serve on hamburger buns. (and a pickle cause pickles are awesome)
Missy's Notes
If you want them a little less sloppy; less water or no water. 
I freeze the leftovers flat in a ziplock.  Then thaw over night.  Reheat in a microwave safe bowl or a skillet.
If you forgot to remove the night before you can defrost in the microwave.
ENJOY!
