Sloppy Turkey Joes Recipe:

The ingredients are simple, but the taste is big. These Sloppy Joes have good healthy ingredients in them. I use Turkey, because I don't eat Red Meat, but you can certainly use Beef or Chicken. The recipe will hold up quite well.

The differences between using Turkey and Ground Beef are pretty logical.  If you use Turkey, the more Premium grinds will have less fat. That means that there is less moisture. If you want more moisture in this with Turkey, then add Chicken Broth (or water) after browning with the onion, garlic and green pepper. Just remember that you are adding Ketchup which is a semi-liquid, You can add more liquid after the Ketchup is cooked in a bit. There is no hurry and no sweat for time.  With Beef, you will most certainly have to drain the fat and some moisture off.

Ingredients:

1 pound of ground Turkey (or whatever meat you wish to use)
1/3 cup chopped onion
1/3 cup dices green pepper
1 heaping teaspoon yellow prepared mustard
1/2 - 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder (depending on the Garlic strength)
3/4 cup of organic Ketchup (you can substitute a portion of the Ketchup with BBQ sauce)
2 teaspoons light or dark brown sugar
salt
ground pepper

For ingredients, I use Ground Turkey, Onion, Green Peppers, Garlic, Yellow prepared Mustard, Brown Sugar, Organic Ketchup, Salt, Pepper and Olive Oil.

In a medium pan, or skillet (that has a lid that fits it for simmering after browning), heat up some Olive Oil (or vegetable oil) and brown the meat of your choice, along with the onion, green pepper and garlic.

After the meat and vegetables are browned, stir in the rest of the ingredients and low simmer for 30-45 minutes on a Low simmer. This is a good time to add any moisture if you want it. You have plenty of time. Then add salt and pepper to taste.

Enjoy! Shalom
