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

Like other reviewers said it was a little soupy. Flavor was a bit lacking-bland. Most of family's comments were it is OK but they prefer traditional Sloppy Joes. I was surprised because they love the Buffalo Chicken wraps recipe we found at TOH I figured this would be a winner too because they love anything with buffalo chicken wing flavor.

I followed the recipe as written and these were VERY soupy. I think tomato paste would have been a better idea than sauce, and I'm also not sure it needs that much chicken broth. I thought it was rather bland, so I added extra hot sauce and a bunch of salt and creole seasoning and let it simmer for awhile. It reduced enough to be put on buns and was tasty after all the changes. My husband is picky and doesn't even like wings, but he liked the flavor of these sandwiches.

OK, after reading the other reviews and seeing how soupy it was going to be after adding the chicken broth, I decided to add tomato puree' instead of tomato sauce...big difference!! Next time however, I will let it simmer longer it was still a little too soupy for the buns...but great taste!!!!

My husband is not a "foodie" by any means. He is never one to really talk about food or how good it is...but he loves buffalo chicken wings so I made this recipe for him and he RAVED about it for two straight days. Thank you for a wonderfully easy and tasteful recipe!

These were pretty good, but the sauce didn't seem strong enough. We had to add extra hot sauce when we made our burger. Also, don't add too much bleu cheese or it completely takes over the taste.

I put the sloppy joe mix on whole wheat buns. My hubby said it was the best sloppy joe mix ever. He suggested it could use more hot sauce. I have an idea that I will be making a his and her sloppy joe mix.

This is a correction to my earlier review: I suggest reducing the chix broth to 1/4 cup and the hot sauce to 3 Tbsp.

It was very good. We would prefer to reduce the chix broth to 1/2 cup and the hot sauce to 3 Tbsp.

Although I would like the ground turkey, celery, and carrots, and I made this without those ingredients and used ground beef for my husband's preferences. We both liked the result and thought they were a good change of pace from regular sloppy joes.
