Probably more widely known as Sloppy Joes, these can be made with ground beef or ground turkey. This homemade version is light years ahead of anything you can buy in an envelope or can, and really just as easy. I like to serve these with paper-thin slices of red onion.
Ingredients
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1 lb. ground beef or ground turkey
1 medium yellow onion, peeled and chopped fine
1/2 cup best-quality ketchup
1/2 cup best-quality chili sauce
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon coarse salt
freshly cracked black pepper
1/3 cup water
6 sesame seed topped hamburger buns, warmed
Method
Brush a skillet with oil and warm over moderate heat, 30 seconds. Add beef [or turkey] and onion and sauté 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Add all remaining ingredients [except buns] and simmer, uncovered, 10 minutes. Spoon mixture between split buns and serve immediately.

I don't know about you, but I have already added Tom's recipe to notepad to try later, sounds delish!
here are a couple more ideas for you
Chicken a la King
1 1/2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1 small onion
4 teaspoons olive oil
1 cup presliced mushrooms (from the salad bar or produce department)
1/3 cup flour
1 cup milk
1 cup half-and-half
1/4 cup chopped parsley
1/2 cup frozen peas, thawed
One jar (2 ounces) diced pimiento, drained
1/2 teaspoon paprika
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Cut the 1 1/2 pounds of chicken breasts into 1/2-inch cubes. Chop the onion. In a 12-inch skillet, heat the 4 teaspoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the cubed chicken and the chopped onion and cook, stirring, until the chicken pieces are golden brown, about 4 minutes.
Add the 1 cup sliced mushrooms and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Stir in the 1/3 cup flour and cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Gradually pour in the 1 cup each milk and half-and-half and stir to blend. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 7 to 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, chop enough parsley to measure 1/4 cup. Remove the chicken mixture from the heat and stir in the parsley, 1/2 cup thawed peas, 1 jar drained pimiento, 1/2 teaspoon paprika, and salt and pepper.
