1 small green jalapeno, diced (optional)
3 cloves fresh pressed garlic
1 Small Can (5.5 fl oz.) V8 Low Sodium Vegetable Juice
2T. tomato paste
Spice Mixture:
4 oz. Tomato Puree (or Trader Joe's ketchup sugar free)
1t Worchestershire Sauce
1t. Agave
1T. Yellow Mustard (French's)
1T. chili powder
1/2 tsp. sweet paprika (Hungarian or Spanish)
1/4 tsp. cayenne red pepper (optional)
Condiment:
1/2 Avocado
Carb:
8 Whole Wheat Buns (serves 8 using approx 1/2C-2/3C on each)
Optional:
Dash Celery Salt (optional, only for those that feel salt is needed).
Directions
Stovetop Cooking:
Use a very large stovetop fry pan with at least 2" high side.
Spray well using PAM or apply 1tsp of canola oil (using wax paper) to the surface of the fry pan to keep meat from sticking.
MEDIUM HIGH HEAT
Using a wooden spoon, break up ground turkey in pan, fry until browned. Season turkey with garlic powder and onion powder.
Reduce heat to MEDIUM.
Add veggies onions, celery, carrotts, bell peppers, jalepeno (optional), and saute approx 3 minutes, then add the pressed garlic, stir and cook an additional 2 minutes until garlic softens. Add 2T tomato paste and one small can of V8 Juice and bring liquid to simmer.
While the turkey and vegetables are cooking, mix together the spice mixture: barbecue sauce, mustard, chili powder, sweet paprika,
cayenne pepper (optional)
Once the liquid is simmering, reduce heat to LOW and add the barbecue/spice mixture.
Simmer uncovered for 20 minutes.
Serve on Whole Wheat Bun
Condiment:
Spread two small thin slices of avocado on roll or set on top of the "Josephine"
(approx 1/2C - 2/3C of "Josephine" per sandwich).
Important Note Regarding Optional Ingredients:
jalepeno peppers add heat/bite, make sure all the seeds are removed. do not touch your eyes after handling this pepper...wash hands well!!!!
cayenne "red" pepper (powder) adds heat/bite, use sparingly.
celery salt (for those like my hubby that feels salt is a requirement on all food!).
note: you can use 4 oz. BBQ sauce instead of tomato puree + worchester + agave, but it will have more sugar and be more caloric.

I'm trying to cut down on sugar calories. I have updated and now use the following instead of BBQ sauce:
4oz Tomato Puree OR 4oz. Trader Joe's Ketchup
1t. Worcestershire Sauce
1t. Organic Raw Blue Agave (low glycemic sweetener)
