Not your average Sloppy Turkey Joes


I am not a kid who grew up eating sloppy joes and I feel like I missed out a bit. I have been wanting to make a sloppy joe recipe for awhile and when I found this one in my Rachael Ray magazine I knew I had to try it and I'm glad I did. It was filling, slightly sweet and made me want to go back for seconds.....but I resisted so it would stretch to the next meal time. If you have young eatters I really think they would enjoy this meal. I bought Dave's Killer bread buns to serve it on and it was pure perfection. Get sloppy!!!

Ingredients
-1 tablespoon of olive oil
-1 1/2 lbs ground turkey
-1 tablespoon poultry seasoning
-salt and pepper
-1 small bell pepper chopped (red, orange, or yellow), whichever you prefer (or is on sale)
-1 small onion chopped
-1 garlic clove chopped
-1 cup tomato sauce
-1/4 cup pure maple syrup
-About 3 tablespoons soy sauce
-About 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
-About 2 tablespoons brown sugar
-1 tablespoon dijon mustard
-8 soft burger buns
-shredded cheddar cheese

Directions

  1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil, over medium-high heat. Add turkey and season with poultry seasoning, salt and pepper. Cook until browned, then stir in the bell pepper, onion, and garlic and cook until the vegetables are tender, 5 to 6 minutes. In a bowl, stir together the tomato sauce, maple syrup, soy sauce, vinegar, brown sugar, and mustard. Pour the sauce over teh meat and simmer over medium-low heat for a few minutes to combine the flavors. Serve the sloppy turkey on the rolls with the cheddar cheese.

  2. Enjoy
