Please leave a comment for Loaded Sloppy Joes... did it feed six? Did you like it? Did you love it?

The grains in this recipe can be found at the bulk sections in WinCo and Broulims. This recipe is an easy way to sneak whole grains into your family's diet.

1 pound ground turkey (hamburger will work fine too)
1 cup cooked millet
1 cup cooked quinoa
1/4 cup sucanat (or honey or brown sugar whatever sweetener you have on hand)
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 onion, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
2 cloves garlic
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
2 cups tomato sauce
2 tablespoons tomato paste

Combine sugar, salt and pepper. In a separate bowl combine tomato paste, tomato sauce, worcestershire sauce, and vinegar. Set both combinations aside. Heat skillet and add turkey. Cook turkey just a few minutes and then add sugar and spice mixture. Once turkey has browned, add pepper, onion, and garlic. Reduce heat and let simmer just a few minutes to cook vegetables. Add in tomato sauce mixture and stir well. Last, add cooked grains and combine. Serve on toasted rolls.
