  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (or cilantro)
  • salt to taste
  • cayenne to taste
  • 4 cups coleslaw mix

Sloppy Joes

  • 1 pound ground turkey breast
  • 1/2 cup onion, minced
  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 1/3 cup canned corn kernels
  • 1/3 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can (4.5 ounces) diced green chiles
  • 1 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons mustard
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • salt to taste
  • 4 hamburger buns, split, bottom half slightly hollowed out
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese

directions

Preheat boiler to High; line baking sheet with parchment paper or silpat.

In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients for the coleslaw; chill in refrigerator.

Saute turkey and onion in oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat for about 5 minutes. Drain and return to heat. Stir in ketchup, corn, beans, green chilies, brown sugar, mustard, cumin and salt; heat through 2-3 minutes.

Spoon turkey mixture into each of the 4 bottom buns and arrange on the prepared baking sheet. Top with 1/4 cup cheese. Broil top buns, cut side up, along with the bottom buns until buns are toasted and cheese is melted, about 1-2 minutes (keep an eye on them so they don’t burn!)

To serve, spoon slaw onto each sandwich and serve with a toasted top bun.
