Sloppy Toms

Yep, just like Sloppy Joes, only, I use ground turkey and forget about that store bought, canned sauce...you probably have everything you need for this in your cupboard! I love sloppy joes, I mean, who doesn't, especially as kids. But, I love that this is an old favorite, just revved up a bit with healthier and fresher ingredients.

Sloppy Toms

1.25 lbs. ground turkey
1-2 tsp. olive oil
1 med. onion, chopped
1 carrot, shredded
1 red pepper, finely chopped
3 tsp. chili powder (separated)
1 tsp. paprika
1 tsp. crushed, fresh garlic
salt and pepper to taste
1 sm. can of tomato sauce
1/4 cup ketchup
2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
2 tbsp. mustard
2-3 tbsp. brown sugar

In large non-stick skillet over med. high heat, saute onions, carrots and red pepper until softened. Add ground turkey and continue to cook until browned. Add 1 tsp. of the chili powder and the paprika, garlic, salt and pepper to meat and veggie mixture and cook through.

In small bowl combine tomato sauce, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, remaining 2 tsp. chili powder, mustard and brown sugar. Add sauce to turkey and veggie mixture and stir. Cook for about 5 minutes until sauce is warmed through and starts to thicken.

Serve on buns, or sandwich thins and enjoy!
