Recipe Introduction


Don't turn your nose up at this one without giving it a try. I think you will be pleasantly surprised by the wonderful crunch the shredded coleslaw mix gives this sandwich.
Serves 8





List of Ingredients



• 16oz ground turkey or beef (90% lean)
  
• 1/2 cup chopped onion
  
• 2 cups shredded coleslaw mix
  
• 1 3/4 cups Hunt's tomato sauce
  
• 1 teaspoons prepared mustard
  
• 1 teaspoon JO's Loose Meat Seasoning
  
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  
• 2 tablespoons Brown Sugar Twin
  
• 8 reduced-calorie hamburger buns (80 calories per bun)
  






Instructions



1. In a large skillet sprayed with butter-flavored cooking spray, brown meat and onion. Add coleslaw mix. Cook 5 minutes. Stir in tomato sauce, mustard, JO's Loose Meat Seasoning, black pepper, and Brown Sugar Twin. Mix well to combine. Lower heat. Simmer 10 minutes. For each serving, spoon scant 1/2 cup meat mixture on each bun.
   






Final Comments


HINT: 1) 1 1/2 cups shredded cabbage and 1/2 cup shredded carrots can be used instead of purchased coleslaw mix.
2) You can use 1 teaspoon Sloppy Joe seasoning in place of JO's Loose Meat Seasoning.
