We've made sloppy Joes, and even sloppy faux (using veggie ground round), so when we saw this turkey version, we decided to give it a try. tasted pretty much the same as our other version, which are good, but no big wow factor.... maybe I should have included some pineapple & bacon in the mix!

• 1/2 tbsp. olive oil
• 1 large onion, diced
• 1 green bell pepper, diced
• 1 lb. lean ground turkey
• 1 1/2 cups tomato sauce
• 2 tbsp. tomato paste
• 2 tbsp. brown sugar
• 1 tbsp. red wine vinegar
• 1 tbsp. worcestershire sauce
• 1/2 tbsp. chili powder
• 10-12 shakes tabasco or other hot sauce
• salt and black pepper to taste
• 4 whole-wheat or sesame rolls, split and toasted

• heat the oil in a largeskillet or sauté pan over medium heat
• add onion and bell pepper an cook for about 2 minutes, until softened
• add the turkey and cook, using a wooden spoo to break up the meat, until the turkey is lightly browned
• add the tomato sauce, tomato paste, sugar, vinegar, worcestershire, chili powder, and hot sauce and season with salt and pepper
• turn the heat down to low
• simmer for 10 minutes, until the liquid has reduced and the sauce fully coats the meat
• divide the mixture among the buns

• since the kids were also eating this, i didn't put the hot sauce in the mix, instead I put some on mine
• if you're not going to add the hot sauce, you can reduce the amount of sugar.
• we also added some cheese on top
