What happened to Sloppy Joes?

Posted on June 29, 2012 by heatherlauraclarke

Happy Friday, everyone! I have heard rumours it’s a long weekend here in Canada, but since I freelance and all my days are the same, I have no way of confirming these rumours.

Since Darling Husband and I joined Weight Watchers Online, I’ve been using their recipes almost exclusively (as I showed you in this post).

I’ve been trying to make a lot of our “old favourites” — like wraps, tacos, and pizza — except make the new-and-improved healthy Weight-Watchers-friendly versions.

One of our old favourites was Sloppy Joes, so I was happy to see Weight Watchers offers a healthy version that uses turkey instead of ground beef.

Presenting … The Turkey Joe!

Gorgeous, isn’t it?

I take pictures of every new recipe I make these days, because (A) I’m incredibly proud of myself for branching out and cooking so many new (new!) and healthy (woah!) meals. It’s a big stretch for the former Frozen French Fries Princess of 2005.

But I’m sharing this pic with you because I actually get to share the RECIPE, too — it’s online elsewhere, so I’m not going to get sued into the ground by Weight Watchers.

Here’s the recipe. Make Turkey Joes for your Canada Day celebrations this weekend! Your family will ~~adore them~~ ~~love them~~ think they’re pretty tasty for a healthy recipe that doesn’t include a delicious can of Manwich mix.

I’m Heather Laura Clarke. I’m writer living in beautiful Nova Scotia, I have a 11-year-old son and a nine-year-old daughter, I married my high school sweetheart, and this is the story of my handmade life.

I have depression and anxiety, and I fight like hell every day to keep it from taking over my life. Creating things helps.

Whether I’m writing novels, decorating a room, busting out my power tools to build furniture, getting muddy in the pottery studio, sewing clothes for my kids, or cross-stitching a swear word, I’m all about using my creativity to craft a life I love.

I’ve been writing this blog since 2009, so if you dig deep into the archives, you’ll meet a bright-eyed 25-year-old newlywed who was basically obsessed with having kids, buying a cozy house, and supporting herself full-time as a writer. (Spoiler alert: she got exactly what she wanted.)
