Sloppy Joe's ala Houghtelling

I didn't have much time to whip up dinner last night and my grocery supplies were pretty depleted, so this is what I came up with. Jerod suggested the addition of the pinto beans, and I was very skeptical. But, I'll admit that it turned out pretty good. It was a nice way to fiber-up the dish. I give it a 4.

Sloppy Joe's ala Houghtelling
Serves: 6
1 lb lean ground turkey
1 beef bouillon cube
1 1/2 cup water
1 15 oz can pinto beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup frozen corn
1 packet sloppy joe seasoning.
6 oz tomato paste
6 slices Wonder Wheat bread

Dissolve beef bouillon in 1/2 water. Pour it over turkey as you crumble and brown it. After turkey is done, pour in the rest of the ingredients and simmer for 10 minutes. Serve over bread (or toast) open-faced sandwich style.

Points per serving: 5

Adding shredded cheddar cheese on top might also be good if you can spare the points.
