Ingredients:
For the Sauce:
2 Tbsp vegetable oil
1 Tbsp minced peeled ginger
2 cloves garlic -- minced
1/2 serrano chili pepper -- seeded and minced
1 tsp garam masala
1/2 tsp paprika
1 can tomato sauce -- (15 oz)

For the Sloppy Joes:
3 to 4 Tbsp vegetable oil
small handful raisins (about 1/4 cup)
small handful shelled pistachios (about 1/4 cup)
1 tsp cumin seeds
1 large white onion, finely diced
1 red bell pepper, seeded and finely diced
1 serrano chili pepper (don't chop it unless you like things spicy!)
Kosher salt
1 lb ground turkey (or ground round)
1/2 teaspoon honey
1/4 cup half-and-half
small handful fresh cilantro (soft stems included)
4 sesame buns, split

Method:
Make the Sauce:
Heat the vegetable oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the

ginger, garlic and chili pepper and cook until the ginger and garlic

brown a little, about 1 minute. Add the garam masala and paprika and

cook 30 seconds. Add the tomato sauce and 1 cup water, stir and bring

to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, uncovered, 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, Prepare the Sloppy Joes:
Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Add the raisins and pistachios and cook, stirring occasionally, until

the raisins swell up and the pistachios toast slightly, about 1 minute.

Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Return the skillet to medium heat and add the remaining 1 to 2

tablespoons vegetable oil. Add the cumin seeds and let sizzle about 10

seconds, then add the onion and bell pepper and cook until softened and

starting to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the chili pepper and cook 2

more minutes, seasoning with salt. Add the turkey, breaking up the big

lumps, and cook until opaque, about 5 minutes.

Add the prepared sauce to the turkey-and-onion mixture in the skillet.

Stir and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer until

the mixture thickens slightly, about 10 minutes.

Remove the whole chili pepper (unless you want to eat it, like my dad

does!) and stir in the honey, half-and-half, raisins and pistachios.

Taste for seasoning. Stir in the cilantro right before serving.

Toast the buns and fill with the sloppy Joe mixture. Eat with your

hands!
