follows
Have a GH (grown helper)
place a big skillet over medium high heat for you. Use some
kitchen scissors to cut the turkey package open. Add some
extra-virgin olive oil, 2 turns of the pan in a nice, slow
stream. Have the GH add the ground turkey to the pan, in case it
spatters. Break the turkey up with a big wooden spoon as it
starts to cook. If anyone touches the raw turkey, they should go
wash their hands.
If you are a really good chopper, using a
small, sharp knife chop up some red onion. Remember when you are
chopping to keep the fingers that are not holding the knife all
tucked in and curled under. Have a GH help you. You need half a
red onion chopped up small. Pull the seeds and white membrane and
the top out of a half red bell pepper and chop that up small too.
Add the veggies to the cooking meat and stir it all together.
Next, mix in a small bowl: grill seasoning
blend, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce and the tomato sauce.
This will make your special sauce. When all the ingredients are
combined, pour the sauce evenly over the meat and stir everything
together really well. Turn the heat down to simmer and cook the
sloppy mixture for 10 minutes. Blow on a spoonful until cool and
taste it to see if you need to adjust the seasoning.
Have the GH help you serve. Place a bun bottom
on a plate. Use a big ice cream scoop to get a pile of sloppy
meat onto the bun. Put bun top in place and serve with vegetable
sticks on the side and Fries. |
