Would You Rather . . .

 

It doesn't get any manlier than inhaling an entire chicken pot pie. But if you decide to eat the real deal (instead of HG's slimmed-down swap), it can
easily
cost you 850 calories and 50 plus grams of fat! To burn that off, you'd have to:
Spend 2 whole hours shoveling your way out of a snowstorm
or
Manually mow the lawn for more than 2 hours straight
or
Rake leaves vigorously for about 3 hours!

 

Times based on estimates for a 150-pound woman.

PER SERVING (1 sandwich): 271 calories, 3g fat, 835mg sodium, 32g carbs, 3g fiber, 8g sugars, 31g protein

 

Heads Up! These Sloppy Janes are a little sweet because, well, that's the way I like
'
em! If you don't like yours sweet, feel free to leave out the Splenda.

Ingredients

1 pound raw extra-lean ground turkey

5 small hamburger buns (light, if available)

½ cup chopped onions

½ cup chopped red bell peppers

1 cup canned tomato sauce

¾ cup canned no-salt-added tomato sauce

2 tablespoons tomato paste

1½ tablespoons Splenda No Calorie Sweetener (granulated)

1 tablespoon red wine vinegar

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon steak seasoning blend, dry

Dash of salt

Directions

Spray a large pan with nonstick spray and bring to medium-high heat. Add turkey to the pan. Spread the meat around in the pan to break it up a bit.

In a small dish, combine Splenda, salt, and steak seasoning. Sprinkle this mixture over the meat and continue to stir meat in the pan. Once the meat has browned, reduce heat to medium.

Add onions, peppers, Worcestershire sauce, and vinegar to the pan. Stir and then continue to cook for 5 minutes.

Add tomato sauces and tomato paste to the pan and stir well. Reduce heat to low and cook the mixture for an additional 5 minutes.

Toast the buns, if desired. Put one-fifth of the mixture on each bottom bun and then finish off with tops of the buns.
