Buffalo Chicken Sloppy Joes

Bryan and I absolutely LOVE buffalo chicken wings. This gives you all the ingredients and flavors of wings, without the fatty fried wings. Serve with a salad or home made coleslaw.

Buffalo Chicken Sloppy Joe's

1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1 lb ground chicken or turkey breast
1 small carrot, peeled and chopped or grated
1 celery stalk, chopped
1/2 yellow onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tbsp red wine vinegar
2 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup hot sauce (I like Frank's Red Hot)
1 8oz can tomato sauce
4 good quality burger rolls, split and toasted
blue cheese crumbles


Heat a large skillet with extra-virgin olive oil over medium-high heat. Add in carrots, celery, onions and garlic, season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, cook approx 5 minutes until softened. Add meat and break it up with wooden spoon, cook 5 to 6 minutes more. In a bowl combine the vinegar, sugar, Worcestershire, hot sauce, and tomato sauce. Pour into the pan and stir to combine. Simmer a few minutes more as sauce reduces & thickens. Pile sloppy Buffalo filling onto buns and top with blue cheese.

Approx 4 services. Recipe can easily be doubled to serve 8.
