Directions
1. Coat a large skillet with cooking spray. Heat skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken to hot skillet; cook until chicken is no longer pink, stirring to break apart. In a 3-1/2- or 4-quart slow cooker, combine chicken, pizza sauce, vegetables, and undrained tomatoes.
2. Cover and cook on low-heat setting for 6 to 8 hours or on high-heat setting for 3 to 4 hours.

The sodium and cholesterol content is very high. At 323% DV, the calcium amount is a bit odd. 6 oz of meat per sandwich is a bit much esp. when you add pizza sauce, tomatoes and veggies. The photo also shows it being served with French fries - more calories, fat and salt. With extra buns and cheese, you could easily make 10 - 12 sandwiches lowering the calories and sodium. 12 sandwiches = 1/4 lb of meat each which is plenty for an adult.
10/29/2011 02:57:02 PM Report Abusethe total calorie count depends on several factors. one is the grade of ground turkey or chicken used. the package in my freezer is 160 cal per 4 oz serving. this recipe calls for 3 lb meat and yields six sandwiches, which equates to 6 oz per serving. 1.5x160=240. approx 230 cal for a bbq size bun. add the slice of cheese, at least 120 cals per oz/slice and it's up to a total of 590. 61 cal remain for the sauce & veggies. bummer it adds up so quickly. trim 1/3 by making a smaller sandwich.

4/7/2010 02:03:36 PM Report AbuseI would think that by using chicken or turkey the calorie count would be lower.
