Turkey Sloppy Joes

Ingredients

1 teaspoon olive oil

1 small white onion, diced

1 red bell pepper, finely diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 pound 94% lean ground turkey (can also use 99% lean ground turkey)

Salt and pepper

½ cup ketchup

¼ cup spicy low sugar BBQ sauce (I used Stubb’s Spicy BBQ sauce)

½ tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

½ tablespoon red wine vinegar

1 teaspoon yellow mustard

Optional: ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper

For serving:

4 sprouted/whole grain or gluten free hamburger buns

 

Instructions

Add olive oil to a medium skillet and place over medium high heat. Add in the garlic, white onion and bell pepper; sauté for 5 minutes or until onion is translucent. Transfer ingredients to a small bowl.

Next add ground turkey to the skillet and season with salt and pepper; break up the meat as it cooks.

Once turkey is cooked, add the onion/bell pepper mixture back in. Then add in ketchup, bbq sauce, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar and mustard. If you like a little heat, add in cayenne pepper.

Stir well to combine and bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low and cook for 10 minutes longer. If sauce looks too thick, add in a tablespoon of water.

Transfer meat onto hamburger bun.

Serve on hamburger buns
