Lean ground turkey makes this a lighter sloppy joe than the standard ground beef version. A hefty splash of hot sauce and optional blue cheese provide an authentic Buffalo-style flavor.—Maria Regakis, Somerville, Massachusetts

Really good - I halved the recipe. My husband said next time I should leave out the carrots.

I wasn't very crazy about this recipe, but my husband, on the other hand, loved it. I did cut back on the chicken broth and increase the hot sauce as others had recommended. I also added some Buffalo Wing Rub I had purchased at Spice Barn.I am willing to try them 1 more time but with ground chicken. I seem to prefer that over ground turkey.

These are a great quick meal. Not too spicy but you still get the buffalo flavor. We use ranch instead of blue cheese to top.

Great recipe! We double the sauce and instead of using crumbled blue cheese we use blue cheese dressing.

Agree this could use a bit more hot sauce and the addition of chicken broth is probably not necessary. They were a bit soupy if simply heated through but I let it simmer a bit to reduce and let flavors develop. Only made half a recipe to test, but will plan to make full batches in the future!

My family really enjoyed this recipe and want it prepared again. Because of what I had in the fridge/pantry, I replaced a few items - used 1lb ground beef and 1/2C ketchup, and omitted the celery,vinegar, and broth. It was not soupy at all and full of flavor. Bleu cheese and hot sauce really gave it some zing and made it extra tasty. Thank you for sharing.

I made this twice. the first time it was ok mainly because I didn't use enough of the buffalo sauce. I cut the recipe in half but the second time I made it, I used 1/4 cup of the buffalo sauce and it was amazing! I would definitely recommend using much more of the buffalo sauce. I especially love this recipe because it sneaks in some veggies that my daughter wouldn't normally want to eat :)

My store was out of ground turkey, so I made this recipe with ground chicken, and it was delicious! I also left out the carrot. My husband and I both thought the flavor was wonderful and mild. I suggest you add more hot sauce if you prefer a spicy buffalo taste. The celery adds a nice crunch, and the blue cheese is a perfect complement to the sauce. We'll definitely have these again!

My family loathes poultry. This includes Thanksgiving turkey. The only poultry they will willingly eat is homemade chicken tacos. When I made these about 3 weeks ago and they devoured them, I knew this was a real winner. I did, however, leave out the brown sugar. The general consensus was that spicy was far superior to sweet and spicy. Tonight when I make these again, I will use 2 full packages of ground turkey (each pkg. is 1 1/4 lbs). This will prevent having 8 oz. of leftover ground turkey that I won't be able to get anyone to eat, and will keep the recipe from being quite so "sloppy".
