Sloppy Joes a la Patti

Aired on: December 24, 2008

Patti LaBelle says, "Kids, grown-ups, old folks – everyone loves my Sloppy Joes. These are quick to put together when the guys are watching a game or when we girls are gathered for some gossip and fun. If you don't have my products on-hand, make the mix using fresh jalapeños and sweet pickle relish with some hot sauce added."

Ingredients

2 pounds ground turkey
1 cup minced red onion
1/2 cup diced green bell pepper
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
2 cups tomato sauce
2 tablespoons La Belle Diced Fine Jalapeños
6 large slices Italian bread, toasted or seeded rolls, split
6 tablespoons La Belle Sweet Hot Jalapeño Relish

Yields: 6 servings

Preparation

Place the turkey, onion, bell pepper and garlic in a nonstick frying pan over medium heat. Season with the chili powder and salt. Brown the meat, breaking it up as it cooks, for about 10 minutes.
