Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound lean ground turkey
- 1 medium onion
- 1 medium green bell pepper
- 2 garlic cloves
- 8 ounces tomato sauce
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup water
Instructions
Begin by finely dicing the onion and green bell pepper. Mince the garlic cloves.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the onions, green bell pepper, and garlic to the skillet. Sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are soft and the onion is translucent.
Add the lean ground turkey to the skillet, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Cook the turkey until it's no longer pink, approximately 8 minutes.
Drain any excess fat from the skillet if necessary.
Stir in the tomato sauce, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, apple cider vinegar, and brown sugar into the turkey mixture.
Add the chili powder, salt, black pepper, and water. Stir until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Serve the Sloppy Joe meat on whole wheat buns or over your favorite low-fat bread alternative.
