Summer Squash Sloppy Joes

This recipe is very tasty, and it allows you to sneak lots of veggies into an otherwise traditionally unhealthy meal.

Serves 6

1 # ground turkey
1/2 onion, finely chopped
1 carrot, finely chopped
3/4 c. summer squash, finely chopped
3/4 c. zucchini, finely chopped
1 6 oz. can of tomato pasted
1 1/2 c. water
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tbsp. mild chili powder
1 tsp. paprika
1 tsp. dried oregano
salt and pepper to taste
shredded cheddar cheese
sour cream (optional)
6 hamburger buns

In a large skillet over medium high heat, saute the ground turkey until browned. Add the onion and saute for 2 minutes. Add the carrot and saute another 2 minutes. Add the squash and zucchini and saute 1 minute more. Stir in the tomato paste and 1 1/2 cups of water, stirring until the paste has dissolved. Add the garlic and spiced. Reduce heat to medium and continue to cook until the mixture has thickened, about 8 - 10 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the broiler on low. Transfer both halves of the buns to the broiler, open faces, and toast lightly. Remove the buns from the oven and fill each sandwich with the mixture. Top with cheese (and sour cream, if you have it).
