Tikka masala simmer sauce provides a vibrant twist on the kid classic. Spoon the saucy meat onto crusty rolls, top it with a crunchy, refreshing cilantro slaw, and set out plenty of napkins.
Note: The turkey may arrive frozen for freshness. Store it in the refrigerator to defrost before cooking. If you need to defrost it same day, place the sealed package in a bowl of cold water, and leave the tap running in a thin stream for about 30 minutes.
Contains: milk, tree nuts, wheat
What You Get
Ground turkey (see note below)
Tikka simmer sauce
Cilantro
Jalapeño pepper (optional)
Shredded cabbage
Lime
Par-baked ciabatta rolls
Pickled onions
What You'll Need
Olive oil
Salt and freshly ground pepper
Step 1
In a sauté pan over medium-high heat, warm 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add the turkey, using a wooden spoon to break up the larger chunks, and sauté until no longer pink, about 6 minutes. Stir in the tikka simmer sauce, turn down the heat to medium-low, and continue to cook until the flavors blend, 6 minutes longer.
Step 2
Meanwhile, chop the cilantro, including some of the stems (you should have about ¾ cup). Finely chop half of the jalapeño, if you’d like a little heat. In a bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, half of the cilantro, and the jalapeño. Drizzle with the juice of the lime and 1 tablespoon olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss to combine.
Step 3
When the sloppy joe mixture is ready, remove from the heat and fold in the remaining cilantro. Split the ciabatta rolls in half and toast them.
Step 4
To build the sandwiches, place the rolls on plates, and pile with the sloppy joe mixture. Top with the cilantro slaw, sprinkle with a few pickled onions, and serve warm.
