I don't much either. I have food processed skinless chicken breast
because my son prefers chicken to beef for tacos, but I don't like it
much, and the cleanup is a bear. Personally, I'd rather have 100%
chicken skin than skinless breast meat.

My newsreader hiccoughed yesterday about noon, and no new posts starting
showing up until this morning, so have missed a lot of the posts, as
they just plain are not here! (Boo! Hiss!)

My hubby isn't fond of ground, or chopped turkey, but our one daughter
has been on a diet, so now instead of using beef in tacos, or sloppy
joes, I've been using turkey, or chicken, and we really like it. He
grumbles, but I notice he still eats it and doesn't complain after!

This is what I use now for the sloppy joes and we think it's better than
any of the beef ones we've had over the years.

Turkey Sloppy Joes

1 lb. ground turkey breast
1 small onion, chopped
1/2 cup chopped celery
1/4 cup chopped green pepper
1 can Healthy Request tomato soup
1/2 cup ketchup
1 tbsp. brown sugar
2 tbsp. prepared mustard
1/4 tsp. pepper

In a pan, coated with non-sticking cooking spray, cook turkey with
veggies until meat is no longer pink; drain, if necessary. Stir in
remaining ingredients and transfer to slow cooker, cover and cook on low
for 4 hours. Serve on buns. (I just simmer in the pan for a half hour,
or so, if I don't plan that far ahead). Serves 6. Each serving equals
247 calories, so not all that bad.
