Sweet and Spicy Sloppy Joes image

These sandwiches have been the go-to meal for my son's basketball team. Turkey is a wonderful change from ground beef and really absorbs all the flavors. I have also used this for a Friday the 13th celebration at work, calling it 13-ingredient sloppy joes. -Karen Hildebrand, LaBelle, Florida

These sloppy joes were delicious! The sauce was the perfect balance of sweet and spicy, and the meat was tender and juicy. I will definitely be making these again.

These sloppy joes were just okay. The sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste, and the meat was a bit dry. I wouldn't make these again.

These sloppy joes were easy to make and turned out great! I used ground turkey instead of beef, and they were still delicious. I will definitely be making these again.
