…because sometimes the best way to care for a new mama is to cook like her mama used to.  A comfort food, stick to your ribs classic.

Ingredients:

• Approximately 1 lb. ground turkey
• 1 cup diced green bell pepper
• ½ cup chopped onion–any variety
• 1 small can tomato paste
• 3 heaping Tbsp ketchup
• 3 heaping Tbsp mustard
• 1 Tbsp brown sugar
• 1 Tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
• 1 tsp garlic salt
• ½ tsp cayenne pepper
• dash Tabasco

• Hamburger rolls, or bun of your choice
• 3 – 4 cups grated sharp cheddar cheese

Instructions:

1. Brown ground turkey with onion.
2. Add bell pepper and continue to sauté over medium heat.
3. Add all remaining ingredients and simmer over low-medium heat for about 20 minutes.
4. Serve over rolls with cheese, either open faced or sandwich-style.  

I often top mine with black olives and jalapeños.  Enjoy!
