I have a beef sloppy joe recipe here, but had to feed someone who only eats poultry recently (poultry and bacon?), so tried a new recipe.

Ingredients:

• 9 slices of bacon
• 1 pound ground turkey
• 1/2 cup carrot shreds, or other vegetable as desired
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon coarse ground whole grain mustard
• 3/4 cup ketchup
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• buns

Over a large skillet over medium high heat, cut the bacon into small pieces. Cook until browned, then remove the bacon from the pan and drain most of the grease. Brown the turkey in the same pan, then combine both the cooked bacon and turkey in a crock pot.

Add the remaining ingredients, except for the buns, and stir well. Cover, and cook for 4 hours on low, or 2 hours on high.

Serve in the buns.

I really liked this. In fact, I might go eat the little bit of leftovers as soon as I finish this post!
