i decided to try my hand at an old school favorite and an american past-time. think back to your childhood and remember when you had a bad day and mom had sloppy joe's waiting for you. those messy little manifestos made my day... and of course, they were a million times better than the crap that the lunch lady used to serve in the cafeteria (see adam sandler's "lunchlady land" for further analysis). instead of going the normal route and using ground beef and mix like manwich, i wanted to see if i could concoct something just as potent and even tastier. the jury is still out, but initial results are proving positive.

Ingredients: 1 lb. ground turkey 1 red pepper, diced 1/2 yellow onion, diced 2 large garlic cloves, minced 2 in. of ginger, minced canola oil lemon juice 2 8 oz. cans of tomato sauce

1/3 bottle of barbeque sauce chili powder garam masala cajun seasoning worcestershire sauce hot sauce crushed red pepper flakes salt
