I loved the turkey and black bean joes. I know some family don't like beans, but there are ways to hide them. Try puting them in the blender with the tomato past and blend until you can no longer see them. This also good to do with chili. It cause less gas and adds much fiber. - 6/13/08

This was awesome! I made a couple of changes, used 1 lb extra lean ground beefand 1/2 lb ground turkey. Used tomato sauce and a little bbq sauce. Put in crockpot for 3 hours. Loved it, ate as chili with some melted cheese on top. Even 14 year old son loved it! Will definately make again. - 11/3/08

Watch those buns! So many of the wheat / whole grain buns out there have a load of calories. I recommend and manually entered into the SparkPeople system my favorite bun: Sara Lee Delightful Wheat Hamburger Bun (90 calories, 2g of fat, 8g of protein, 6g of fiber). - 9/5/09

I have made this twice in two weeks. My family loved it the first time. The second time I only used 1 lb. of ground turkey, eliminated the olive oil and tomato juice, and added 1/2 cup of salsa. I was out of onion, so I used onion flakes, and garlic powder. It was amazing!!! - 7/10/09

I subbed 2 cans of low salt diced tomates for the tomato juice and tomatoes with chilis and added a couple of seeded, deveined jalapenos, and diced a red sweet pepper, large peeled carrot, peeled parsnip, and added 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin. I put all into the crockpot for a few hours - mmmmm

This was easy and very tasty. I made it in the crock pot so it would have a little more time to blend the flavors and it was great. I also added a couple shakes of red pepper since my hubby likes it spicer. A great way to get those "oh so good for you" bean in your meal! - 10/1/08

I think this dish is fantastic! delicious and versatile. has the consistancy of sloppy joes so great on a bun, or even delish on tortilla chips or baked potatos(awesome for leftover lunch!). It also has a great chili taste. I will use this as a base for my next chili! - 5/20/08

This was fantastic! I didn't think it was like chili at all. I let it simmer for awhile and a lot of the extra liquid evaporated, and became more of the sloppy-joe consistency. I'm eating the left-overs for lunch today! - 5/23/08

This was pretty good. Definately healthier than the regular version. I forgot the onion (shame on me) so maybe that would have helped the flavor a bit. Next time, I think I'll only use half the beans and add a bit more spice. It was just a little bland for me. My husband liked it though. - 7/10/08

I added a small can of mild diced chilies and it was a little too hot (1/2 can would've been fine) but very good. It would also be good on rice, or on lettuce as a spicy salad instead of a bun. - 2/10/08

I made these when my dad came to visit, as he has a heart condition and can't have salt or red meat. We loved this! I only had regular tomato juice on-hand, so I skipped the 1/4t. salt. And I served it on whole wheat buns with baby carrot sticks and watermelon on the side. - 9/5/09

I amended for UK use using 500g minced turkey; dry black turtle beans cooked in salted water until tender using 260g drained weight; 170g tin tomato puree plus tin water (leaving out tomato juice); and 1 tsp onion salt (leaving out salt). Excellent. Just the right consistency for wholemeal roll! - 9/5/09

Wasn't a big fan of this recipe. Made it just as the recipe said. It was not something I would eat on a bun again. Maybe on rice, or by itself. Needed some kick and thought the green chili flavor did not mix well with the recipe. Would try to make it into a taco with refried beans and salsa? - 3/20/10
