Grilled Sweet Italian Turkey Sausages w/ Kicked Up Chili Beans

Today's Menu: Grilled Sweet Italian Turkey Sausages w/ Kicked Up Chili Beans



It's been a long night and day. Battling those Phantom Pains again! It started around 3:00 am and hasn't let up through out the day today. The pain is almost unbearable sometimes. The sad part is there is no cure mainly because no one knows what causes them. Most amputees go through these, some worse than others.

Anyway I wanted a good hot meal but really didn't want to have to put a lot of effort in it. So I   fired up the grill and grilled some Sweet Italian Turkey Sausages. I used the Honeysuckle White Brand Sweet Italian Turkey Sausages. i love these, plump and juicy and grill up fantastic! They are 140 calories and 1 carb. I served it on a Healthy Life Whole Grain Hot Dog Bun and topped it with French's Spicy Brown Mustard. For a side I prepared some Kicked Up Chili Beans, another favorite of mine. I used Joan of Arc Spicy Chili Beans  and added Jack Daniel’s BBQ Sauce, Crumbled Turkey Bacon Bits, Splenda Brown Sugar, and a few dashes of Frank’s Red Hot Sauce. I left the full recipe at the end of the post. For dessert later a Jello Sugar Free Chocolate Pudding topped with Cool Whip Free.

Not So Sloppy Turkey Joes w/ Kicked Up Chili Beans

Dinner Tonight: Not So Sloppy Turkey Joes w/ Kicked Up Chili Beans



Love those Turkey Joes! I tried a new Sloppy Joe Sauce. I used Hormel Not So Sloppy Joe Sauce. Very good Sauce! Thick and Hearty with great flavor. Easier to use than Sloppy Joe Mix also. No adding water and extra simmering time. I'll be stocking up on this my next visit to the grocery store. I used Jennie - O Extra Lean Ground Turkey which is only 120 calories and 0 carbs! I fried the Turkey in Extra Virgin Olive Oil and seasoned it with Ground Smoked Cumin, Ground Thyme, Parsley, Sea Salt, and Ground Pepper. When the Turkey was done I drained the skillet of fat and oil and added the jar of Sauce, stirring until mixed and warmed. Easy to fix and delicious. At the end of the post I left the Hormel description and nutrition of the Sauce. I served the Turkey Joe on a Healthy Life Whole Grain Bun and topped it with Maytag Crumbled Bleu Cheese.
As a side I had some Kicked Up Spicy Chili Beans. I used Joan of Arc Spicy Chili Beans and added Frank's Hot Sauce, Crumbled Turkey Bacon, Jack Daniel's Smoked Honey BBQ Sauce, and a teaspoon of Splenda Brown Sugar. For a dessert/snack later a 100 Calorie Mini Bag of Jolly Time Pop Corn.

Not So Sloppy Joe Sauce

Richer and Thicker and Far From Ordinary

Not-So-Sloppy-Joe® sloppy joe sauce is as distinctive as its name. Not-So-Sloppy-Joe® sloppy joe sauce has a hint of barbecue flavor and is richer and thicker than other sloppy joe sauces.

Since its beginning in 1985, there’s been one very graphic way to show the thick and rich texture of Not-So-Sloppy-Joe® sloppy joe sauce: the “drip test.” When you hold up a sloppy joe made with Not-So-Sloppy-Joe® sloppy joe sauce, there are no drips. It’s that rich and thick.
