In a cooking rut? Try one of these taste-tested, family-approved recipes using ground beef.

These sloppy joes have two twists to them. First, they are made with turkey instead of beef. And second, they are made in the crock pot.

1 1/2 pound ground turkey
1 small onion, diced
2 sticks celery, diced
1 jar (12 ounce size) chili sauce
2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 1/2 tablespoons sweet relish
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
8 hamburger buns
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey, onion, and celery. Cook, stirring frequently, until the turkey is browned and the vegetables begin to soften. Drain off any fat or excess liquid then transfer the mixture to the crock pot.
Add the chili sauce, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, relish, salt, and pepper to the crock pot and mix well. Cover the crock pot and cook on low heat for 2-3 hours or until heated through.
Serve the turkey sloppy joes on buns with any additional toppings as desired.
