Sloppy Joes
I was looking for more ways to use my extra zucchini and I saw a recipe that uses grated zucchini in Sloppy Joes. I made a few substitutions to make it wheat free and sugar free and it turned out really great.
1/2 chopped onion
3 chopped garlic cloves
1 lb ground turkey (can use ground beef)
2 C grated zucchini (peel and seed it if you want to "hide" it from your family)
1 C sugar free tomato sauce
1 t liquid smoke
2 t Swerve or other substitute sweetener
1 t "blackened" seasoning - can use other season combinations like italian seasonings.
Salt and Pepper to taste
Brown onion. Add zucchini and cook until softened. Add ground meat and garlic and brown. Continue cooking until most of the water is cooked off. Add tomato sauce, liquid smoke and seasonings.
Makes around 8 servings.
