Turkey Sloppy Joes
Makes 12 to 16 servings
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 cups finely diced onions
3 pounds ground turkey
2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons ground cumin
2 cups dry red wine
2 28-ounce cans crushed tomatoes
4 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons molasses
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
12 to 16 kaiser rolls
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1. Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook until lightly caramelized, about 5 minutes. Add the ground turkey and salt and mix well. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the meat is thoroughly cooked. Mix in the cumin and cook an additional one minute.
2. Add the red wine and reduce by three-quarters. Pour in the crushed tomatoes and simmer for 15 minutes. Add the Worcestershire sauce, molasses and vinegar and cook for 2 more minutes to blend the flavors. Cool completely and pack in a tightly sealed plastic container to transport in a cooler.
3. To serve, reheat the mixture over medium-low heat on the stovetop. Toast or grill the rolls, split them and top with cheddar cheese. Spoon on the meat mixture and serve right away.
