Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • ½ onion chopped
  • 1 cup ketchup we used Heinz Simply Ketchup

Instructions

  • In a skillet set over medium heat, brown the ground turkey and chopped onions.

  • Once the meat is brown and no longer pink and the onions are tender, add the ketchup, yellow mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper to taste. Mix well.

  • Turn the stove down to medium-low and let it simmer for about 10 minutes. As it simmers, it will thicken and allow the flavors to meld together.
  • Get your favorite bun toast it or don’t, and fill it up with the delicious sloppy Joe meat and enjoy!

Notes

  • When cooking ground turkey, there won't be much if any grease to drain.
  • For a sweeter filling, add some sugar to the ketchup mixture; however, we don't feel this is necessary.
  • We like to serve these with toasted sesame seed buns! 
Storage: Store turkey sloppy joes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
