I LOVE chicken wings and chicken wing sandwiches - so I poached some chicken breasts, chopped the meat up just like like you get at a BBQ joint, put in a couple tablespoons of bottled wing sauce ( the one I like luckily has no fat, no calories and burst of heat) and a couple of tablespoons of no fat blue cheese (that normally tastes pretty blah to me but in this mixture was perfect!). Tossed all that together and served on an Arnolds 100 calorie multi grain sandwich thin. It was so delicious and everyone was astonished how healthy the conversion was. Served with celery and carrot sticks to over come the potato chip crunch.

I had left overs that I put in a green salad the next day.

Satisfied my wing and sandwich craving at the same time - nummy!

Ooo... great idea!  I do something like this in the crock pot with barbeque sauce, I'm going to try it with wing sauce next time.   Yum!

My son and I make our sloppy Joes w/a jar of mixed beans.   Add any of the spices/condiments you would use in hamburger sloppy Joes and you can't tell the difference.

My tweaking for sloppy joes is: 93% lean beef or ground turkey breast. Brown with onions, celery, and garlic. use only HALF the meat (1/2 pounds) - save other half for another dish. Stir in 1 packet Hidden Valley Ranch Spicy Ranch mix (mix only), 1 can tomato sauce, and enough diced tomatoes (without juice) to get the texture I want. Serve on toasted SmartWheat bread (fills like more meat that way, plus no HFCS :) ) and enjoy!

We like "snobby joes" made with lentils

Or a fresh chickpea cutlet with lettuce, tomatoe, veganaise and tempeh bacon

Or an antipasto sub made with carmalized onions, roasted eggplant, roasted red pepper, olives, baby spinach, red pepper hummus and drizzled with Italian dressing.

I am trying to stay away from those big lovely buns which make a sloppy joe what it is....

 Although I am writing down that recipe when I hit maintence!  I think one lovely giant bun then will be acceptable.

Anyway...my favorite sandwich is a monte cristo!  Basically french toast with thin slices of honey ham and roast turkey with a slice of swiss cheese.  Very enjoyable with a spicy red pepper jelly.  I actually use only egg whites now to make it and some organic whole sprouted wheat bread, thinly sliced meat and cheese and it is stillvery satisfying....just miss the jelly :-(

I love Cuban sandwiches ...so i use a multi-grain roll with low sodium low fat roast turkey and low sodium turkey ham or pastrami, low fat swiss and low sodium pickles. and of course i throw in some fresh baby spinach to make it a little more healthy. Put it on my George Forman grill (since I don't have a panini press) with a spritz of Pam spray. wonderful and my husband doesn't know the difference. 

My family uses the boca vegetarian crumbles with onions, peppers and the manwich sauce (yes very high in sodium-I know). We bake a small serving of sweet potato fries and put the veggie sloopy on a 100 calorie whole grain thin bun....great option for vegetarians who do not like mushrooms such as myself!

How mzny colories your sansdwich contains, as it sound so delicious!!!

Mmmm. Homemade sloppy joe is right up there with homemade mac n cheese.  My dad would always use mushrooms, tomatoes, onions, peppers and sometimes celery and it would cook for hours.

Sloppy Portobello sounds amazing!

Yeah... I gotta try me some of that sloppy portobello stuff - with gluten free bread  *sigh*   Great.  Now I'm hungry.  Oh look, it's lunchtime!   No wonder.   Later...

I use firm tofu that I crumble up when I'm craving sloppy joes or tacos. It's a great substitute for ground meat in meals that have lots of sauce/seasonings in it. I crumble it and then cook it just like I would ground beef. If you use a 1-2 T of oil and fry it a bit it firms up even more and the texture becomes even more like beef too.

Dear ninav,  Hello again - yes it is also great with a hummus spread over a toasted whole grain bread with dijon, even some romain lettuce with a little thin sliced dill and black sliced kalamata olives.  Oh yummy, umhum;0. aea      Love to you all and HAPPY NEW YEAR

I love buffalo chicken wrap. When I need to keep my calories down, I just don’t use any meat, only vegetables with hot sauce. It satisfies my craving for combination of hot sauce and tortilla and it more than 100 calories less. I found if you remove meat from any sandwich with a lot of veggies and use the same sauce you can fool yourself that you had a normal meal.  Sometime I toss a salad with just mustard and wrap it in tortilla and it taste pretty good.

We bought a panini cook book.  A lot of the breads in it are rye or whole-wheat.   We often do paninis and soup for dinner, these days.  My personal favorite panini is smoked salmon, one hard-boiled egg cut into thin slices to substitute for cheese, leaf lettuce, light mayo mixed with garlic and lemon juice, and rye bread.  Sounds bizarre, but tastes amazing, especially after a hard workout, and paired with a nice potato/corn chowder.
