Buffalo Turkey Sloppy Joes....now that's a mouthful.

I had ground turkey in the fridge and the only thing I could think of making was sloppy joes at the time.  I proceeded to brown it and found I didn't have the exact sloppy joe sauce ingredients I usually like to use, so I started the 'thinking outside the box' thing again.  I saw 1/2 bottle of Frank's Red Hot Sauce and remembered an episode of Rachael Ray where she made Buffalo Sloppy Joes, so I looked it up and did my best with what I had on hand.

Ingredients:

Brown : 1 1/2 lb grd turkey
Saute with turkey:
small onion (diced)
1 celery stalk (diced)
1 carrot (diced)

Whisk together and add to turkey and simmer until heated through:

(what was left in the Prego spaghetti sauce jar; seriously!)
3 T brown sugar, 3 T red wine vinegar, 1 T worchestershire sc, 1/2 C Franks Red Hot Sc.)  or more, if you want more sauce!

Top bun with pickle chips and crumbled bleu cheese (I used light bleu cheese dressing)]]]
(optional:  roll up in your favorite tortilla)
