Barbecue Turkey Sloppy Joes


This has been one crazy week. So much going on with work and home. Especially when we were sitting with a high in the single digits for a couple days in a row. Not much fun let me tell you. When you step outside and your face instantly stings...nope. No thank you. Good thing there is such a thing as comfort food. 


If you want sloppy, cozy, finger licking, saucy deliciousness then makes this. Sloppy joes are a staple in any household I believe. I remember eating sloppy joes when I was a kid and getting that filling all over my hands. Aw, the time when it was socially acceptable to be messy. Now we are adults and have to actually clean ourselves. Oops, off topic. Anyways. I love barbecue sauce on pretty much anything. With this recipe you could get any flavor barbecue sauce every time you make it and it would be like a brand new recipe. I only had original in my pantry this time, but I usually go for the sweet and spicy kind. After working around the warm cozy sandwich you still have all that fell out on to your plate. It's like seconds. :)


Stay warm to all. Oh and Go Seahawks!!
