Time 35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 ½ pounds ground turkey
1 tomato, chopped
1 small onion, chopped
¾ green bell pepper, chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 pinch red pepper flakes
salt and ground black pepper to taste
4 ounces tomato paste
1 lemon, juiced
6 hamburger buns, split and toasted
6 slices American cheese

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a pot over medium heat. Cook and stir garlic in hot oil until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Break ground turkey into the pot. Cover pot with lid and cook meat until browned on the outside, 2 to 3 minutes. With a slivered wooden spoon, break meat up into very small pieces; continue to cook and stir until nearly completely browned, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Stir tomato, onion, green bell pepper, parsley, and red pepper flakes into the turkey mixture; season with salt and black pepper; cook until the tomato softens, 3 to 4 minutes. Add tomato past and lemon juice; stir to coat vegetables with tomato paste. Cover pot with lid, reduce heat to low, and cook until the vegetables are tender, 7 to 10 minutes. Serve on toasted hamburger buns topped with cheese.

This recipe was a lifesaver! I had a pound of ground turkey that I needed to use up, and I didn't know what to make. These sloppy joes were the perfect solution. They were easy to make, and my family loved them.

I'm not a fan of ground turkey, but I thought I'd give this recipe a try. I was pleasantly surprised! The sloppy joes were delicious, and I couldn't even tell that they were made with turkey.

The sloppy joes were too runny for my liking. I had to add some bread crumbs to thicken them up.

I found the recipe to be a bit bland. I added some extra spices to taste.

The sloppy joes were a bit too sweet for my taste, but overall they were still good.

I was a bit skeptical about using ground turkey in sloppy joes, but I was pleasantly surprised. The turkey was undetectable, and the sloppy joes were delicious.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover ground turkey. It's also a great meal prep option, as the sloppy joes can be made ahead of time and reheated later.
