We had both been craving Sloppy Joes. I didn't want to go back to the grocery store for a can of the sauce, so I decided to make my own version with no-sugar ketchup.
As you may or may not know, ketchup contains a lot of sugar. Since I've been using no-sugar ketchup for awhile, I actually prefer it to the regular version.
So if that's something that's important to you, use the no sugar kind. If you don't have a preference, use what's in your fridge or pantry.
This recipe made six very generous servings.
16 oz. 93% ground turkey
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
1 clove garlic, minced
1 1/2 T. chili powder
1 t. paprika
1 t. brown sugar
1/2 cup ketchup
1 t. yellow mustard
couple of tablespoons of water if needed
Brown the turkey along with the onions, peppers, and garlic in a large skillet over medium high heat. Stir frequently so it doesn't stick.
When the turkey is cooked, stir in the chili powder, paprika, and brown sugar.
Pour in ketchup and mustard and lower heat to low. Continue cooking for 10 minutes or so. You'll probably need to add a few tablespoons of water along so it doesn't get too thick.
Toast the hamburger buns and spoon on the filling!
Serve with pickles or top the filling with a little shredded cheese if you'd like.
