I am going to preface this with an apology. My computer keyboard is acting up and it randomly doubles or even triples letters and spaces. It has done this before but I don't remember how to fix it. I will try to catch all the typos but it is a pain. Please bear with me.
I almost always add veggies to sloppy joes, usually peppers and sometimes carrots. I've added corn before too but that was a little strange. This week, I had a lot of miscellaneous CSA veggies to use up so I just chopped them up and added them to the ground turkey. I used red onion (that was a great choice! Red onion is one of my favorites), turnips, spinach, carrots, and bell peppers. It was surprisingly really good. I don't know why I'm always surprised when something with so many veggies tastes good.
I will also mention that I used canned sloppy joe sauce that was bold. I think the bold really makes a difference. Some day, I will make my own sauce but right now I don't have enough burners.
Another good thing to add veggies to is tuna salad. Celery is a good addition but I didn't have any this time. So for crunch, I added raw red bell pepper. I also added lots of red onion, spinach, and cherry tomatoes. In the past, I have also added white beans to it without much taste difference.
In both recipes (sloppy joes and tuna), my kids gobbled them up and couldn't get enough! Sometimes I try to hide the veggies from the kids but I am also a huge advocate of having them try everything too.
By posting this, I hope it will encourage you to add more veggies to recipes you already love. Plus, I have had some requests for what veggies I add to some kid favorites. Basically, since belonging to the CSA, I have added veggies to everything--whatever I have on hand.
