Not so sloppy turkey joe


Walking into the house and knowing that dinner made is a joy, especially on a dreary Monday.   And just spending a little less then ten minutes in the early hours is not bad either. 

      Not so sloppy turkey joe

Start off by spraying your crock with cooking spray, this will help with the cleanup later on.   I have tried the crockpot bags, but I feel a little uncomfortable cooking anything in plastic.  With that said, I used a 2 lb. turkey ham, a can of Sloppy Joe sauce, a can of stewed tomatoes, and 2 onions. 
I roughly cut up the onion and placed them in the bottom.  
Then I place the turkey ham on top, flat side down.   Please use a regular ham instead of turkey if that is what is in the fridge.  Just make sure it fits in the crock. 
I poured the whole can of the sloppy joe sauce over the turkey ham making sure he's completely covered.  
Then I poured the stewed tomatoes around the meat and covered the onions.  

To make sure the lid is a tight fit I put a sheet of tin foil in between.  
I set it on low for 8 hours.  My husband had shredded the meat with two forks and mixed in the sauce and onions real good. 

He put his on a seame seed bun with a slice of Swiss cheese. 

I had mine with a wrap and some crunchy vinegar slaw. 

 Swedish Pizzera Slaw
1/4 to a full head of cabbage thinly shredded.  I use a mandin.  Red wine vinegar, olive oil, salt, black pepper  or favorite herb salt.  
Put shredded cabbage in bowl.   Liberally sprinkle with red wine vinegar.   2 - 3 circles of olive oil.   More salt then you think you should and as much black pepper.     Toss.   Cover and refrigerate.   All day is good.  Overnight is better.   The salt will draw liquid out of the cabbage and give it a nice al dente.  

Enjoy

  1. Sloppy Joe sauce? I didn't know there was such a thing. If I just use a can of organic tomato sauce (I know, omit the pesticides and add the BPA) what spices do I need to add to replicate the sauce?
