Turkey Sloppy Joes

I’ve included some videos I found relevant and helpful. 😍

Turkey Sloppy Joes are a tasty twist on a classic sandwich. They’re quick to make and perfect for busy weeknights. You can whip up these yummy sandwiches in about 30 minutes with just a few simple ingredients.

Ground turkey makes these Sloppy Joes a bit lighter than the beef version. The meat is cooked with onions and mixed with a flavorful sauce. Ketchup, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce give it that classic tangy taste. Pile the mixture onto soft buns for a messy but delicious meal your whole family will love.

Exact Ingredients List

Here’s what you’ll need to make these tasty turkey sloppy joes:

• 1 pound ground turkey (93% lean)
• 1/2 onion, chopped
• 1 cup ketchup (Heinz Simply Ketchup recommended)
• 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• Kosher salt and black pepper to taste
• 4 hamburger buns

You might already have some of these items in your kitchen. The recipe is easy to double or triple if you’re feeding a crowd. Just adjust the amounts as needed.

For the best flavor, use fresh ingredients. If you can’t find Heinz Simply Ketchup, any ketchup will work. Feel free to use your favorite brand of hamburger buns too.

Remember to season with salt and pepper to your liking. You can always add more later if needed.

Instructions

Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground turkey and chopped onions. Cook until the turkey is brown and no longer pink. The onions should be soft.

Next, mix in the ketchup, yellow mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Add salt and pepper to taste. Stir everything together well.

Turn the heat down to medium-low. Let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes. This helps the sauce thicken and the flavors blend.

While it’s simmering, you can get your buns ready. Toast them if you like, or leave them as is.

Once the meat is done, scoop it onto your buns. Add as much or as little as you want.

Your turkey sloppy joes are now ready to eat! Enjoy them while they’re hot and messy.

Remember, you can adjust the seasoning to your taste. Feel free to add more salt, pepper, or other spices if you want.

Tips, Tricks & Storing

To make your turkey sloppy joes even tastier, try toasting the buns before serving. This adds a nice crunch and helps prevent them from getting soggy.

For extra flavor, add some diced bell peppers or minced garlic when cooking the onions and turkey. You can also sprinkle in some chili powder or smoked paprika for a kick.

Got leftovers? No problem! Store the meat mixture in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, just pop it in the microwave or warm it up in a pan on the stove.

Freeze the sloppy joe filling for quick future meals. Let it cool completely, then put it in freezer bags. It’ll stay good for about 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating.

Want to make your sloppy joes healthier? Use whole wheat buns and add some shredded carrots or zucchini to the meat mixture. This sneaks in extra veggies and boosts nutrition.

For a fun twist, try serving the sloppy joe filling over baked potatoes or rice instead of buns. It’s a great way to change things up and use what you have on hand.
