Open Face Mexican Sloppy Joes Over Cornbread
- Sloppy Joe Sauce
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 1/2 cup green pepper, diced
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 celery rib, diced
- 1 small onion, diced
- 14 1/2 ounces diced Mexican tomatoes
- 8 ounces tomato sauce
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 pinch sugar
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- salt
- pepper
- 2 teaspoons olive oil to saute the vegetables and turkey
- Garnish
- 1 cup monterey jack cheese
- 3 scallions, fine chopped
- Cornbread
- 2 (14 ounce) boxes Jiffy cornbread mix (or your favorite mix along with eggs and milk according to directions)
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/4 cup diced green chilis
- 1 cup monterey jack cheese
- Vegetables -- In a large saute pan, add the oil and bring to medium heat. Saute the celery, garlic, onion and green pepper until lightly sauteed.
- The turkey -- once the vegetables are soft, add the turkey inches Saute until golden brown and vegetables are soft.
- Add the tomatoes, sauce, and paste, seasoning, Worcestershire, salt and pepper to taste. And just let simmer 30-40 minutes.
- Cornbread -- Mix the cornbread mix, the milk and eggs according to the box directions. Add the green chilies (lightly drained, I keep a little juice), seasoning and cheese. Bake according to directions. I like to use a 13x9" pan.
- Cut the cornbread into squares and then serve Sloppy Joe sauce over the top. Garnish with grated cheese and scallions.
- I love to serve with this with coleslaw or black beans or a simple green salad.
