Ingredients

Nonstick cooking spray

1 tablespoon olive oil

1/2 cup chopped red onion

1/2 cup chopped celery

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 pound lean ground turkey or sirloin

1/2 cup sweet potato puree

1/2 cup butternut squash or red pepper puree

raw, finely chopped carrots (optional)

1/2 cup reduced-fat low-sodium beef broth

1/4 cup tomato paste

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon chili powder, or to taste

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon pepper

8 whole-grain hamburger or hot-dog buns

Directions

2. Add the meat, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, and cook until no longer pink, 4 - 5 minutes.

3. Add the vegetable purees, raw chopped carrots (if using), beef broth, tomato paste, Wortcestershire sauce, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer until the liquid is reduced by about one-half, 15 - 20 minutes.

4. Spoon the mixutre over buns and serve.
