From the Test Kitchen

This all-American meal offers a lighter take on the beloved, comforting Sloppy Joe. We’re cooking turkey in a tomato-barbecue sauce, then spooning the savory filling into toasted buns (along with crunchy pickle chips). And on the side, we’re serving up a sauté of fresh, sweet corn and summer beans. Blanching the beans first brings out their vivid color and flavor, while also preserving their texture—they’ll still be succulent and crisp once you’ve finished them with the corn, garlic and fresh thyme.
