PUMPKIN SLOPPY JOES

When my oldest granddaughter gave me eight of the 50 pumpkins she grew in her backyard, I didn't know how I'd use them all up! Then I remembered this recipe from a dear friend-I'm glad I tried it. I froze some of the pumpkin to use in this and other recipes, and also froze some of the sloppy joe mixture to enjoy later.-Eleanor McReynolds, Scott City, Kansas

PUMPKIN SLOPPY JOES

From perfect entertaining: This savory dish, a variation of Sloppy Joes with a Halloween twist is very flavorful and unique. Sloppy Joes don't have to go far to look slightly disgusting and messy, and this version is sure to please all those sloppy eaters. This is also a very low fat dish that is perfect to serve to mixed company. Kids will love the sloppiness and adults will appreciate the slightly more "grown up" flavor. This is great on rolls or thick slices of French bread, my preference.

Time 40m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb ground turkey
2 medium chopped onions
2 minced garlic cloves
1 cup pumpkin puree
1 cup crushed tomatoes or 1 cup tomato sauce
3 tablespoons dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons yellow mustard
1 teaspoon chili powder
salt

Steps:

  • In a large heavy saucepan brown the ground turkey over medium high heat.
  • Reduce the heat to medium and add the onions. Cook until the onions are almost soft and translucent.
  • Add the garlic and cook for additional minute or two.
  • Add the remaining ingredients and mix well.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil, then cover, reduce the heat, and simmer for 15 minutes. Serve hot.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality ground beef. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your sloppy joes.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when browning the beef. This will make the beef tough.
  • Cook the beef until it is browned all the way through. This will help to prevent it from being dry.
  • Use a variety of spices in your sloppy joe sauce. This will give it a more complex flavor.
  • Simmer the sauce for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
  • Serve the sloppy joes on warm buns. This will help to keep them from getting soggy.

Conclusion:

Pumpkin sloppy joes are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. They are also a great way to use up leftover pumpkin puree. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
