    Sloppy Joe is a popular hearty American dish with a variety of ways to make it. The most typical being ground beef, onions, bell peppers, tomatoes, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, mustard and various, spices. Wait until you get a mouthful of our Sloppy Joe! It’s a new twist on the original. It’s primarily made with ground turkey, onions, barbecue sauce, and tomato sauce. The result is simple spectacular. Once you make it with barbecue sauce, you’ll never want to make it the original way again…

    Ingredients

    • 1 package (1- pound) ground turkey
    • 3 cups chopped onions
    • 1 (18 oz) bottle of barbeque sauce (We like Bull's-eye original or Sweet Baby Ray’s)
    • 1 cup tomato sauce (from a jar or can)
    • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
    • 8 hamburger buns (whole wheat), warmed or toasted

    Directions

    1. In a large pan or skillet, cook the ground turkey over medium-high heat, stirring often to break up the lumps until turkey is browned.
    2. Drain cooked turkey into a colander and blot with paper towels. Return drained turkey to pan.
    3. Place onions in a microwave safe bowl and cook in the microwave for 4 to 5 minutes until soft.
    4. Add the cooked onions to the turkey. Stir in the barbeque sauce, tomato sauce, and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered for 25 minutes. Stir a few times while simmering.
    5. Spoon the turkey mixture onto each bun. If you have any leftovers, this mixture freezes great.

      Healthy Benefits
      Just by using ground turkey and draining the fat instead of using un-drained ground beef, you can cut the fat by about 20 grams! By choosing a whole wheat bun instead of a white bun you add 3 more grams of fiber to the sandwich.
      The sodium content of our recipe is quite high due to the barbecue sauce and tomato sauce. If you are on a lower sodium diet, you can make this using reduced sodium sauces.
