Sloppy joes come in many shapes and sizes. We upped the veggies in this batch, swapped turkey for beef, and achieved a better bread to filling ratio by using a sandwich thin. Finely minced mushrooms add texture and flavor to the mix. The recipe calls for button mushrooms but you can use your favorite variety, or an exotic mushroom mix. Toast the roll to prevent it from becoming soggy. Garnish with pickles, red onion slices or chopped scallions.
