Sweet and Spicy Sloppy Joes

These are VERY spicy Sloppy Joes, probably too spicy for most. If you cannot handle very spicy things, substitute out the jalapeños with mild chiles, both of which can be found with the Mexican foods in the ethnic section of your grocery store. Read more We are quite the chiliheads, so this is ideal for us. The sweetness of both the molasses and brown sugar compliment the heat from the jalapeños perfectly. We serve these Sloppy Joes on onion rolls with either American or Provolone cheese, with a side of roasted asparagus. Comfort food at its finest! See less

How to make it
- Over medium heat sauté onion seasoned with a pinch of Kosher salt in 2 tbsp of oil.
- Once onion begins to soften and cook, add garlic and jalapeños, and sauté for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Increase heat to medium-high and add ground turkey to pan. Break turkey up and cook until browned; about 7-10 minutes.
- Add ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire, molasses, and brown sugar directly to pan, and stir to combine.
- Reduce heat to medium-low and allow to simmer until sauce thickens, about 5 minutes. Stir occasionally (if sauce seems to be sticking to the pan, but is not thick enough yet, reduce heat a bit more, and stir more often).
- Serve with rolls and cheese of your choice.

We didn't have any jalapenos in the house so I used red pepper flakes instead (Kept adding till the boyfriend said it was good :D). And it still turned out fantastic. Delicious.
