Sloppy Joes

2 lbs lean ground beef or turkey (I use turkey)
1/2 cup onion
3 cloves of minced garlic
1 1/4 cups ketchup
3/4 cup chopped green pepper
1 cup chopped celery
3/4 cup chopped carrot
1/3 cup water
3 tablespoons brown sugar
3 tablespoons mustard (I use stone ground)
3 tablespoons vinegar
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon chili powder

Cook turkey with onion and garlic, drain off extra fat.
Combine rest of ingredients with turkey, mixing well. Cook 45-60 minutes, until vegetables are cooked through.

Serve with hamburger buns.

You can sometimes find a container (Trader Joe's) that has chopped carrot, celery and onion.  I will often use this instead of cutting everything up- speeds up the prep part of the recipe.
