Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground turkey (lean, 93% or higher)
- 1 tsp Olive oil
- 1 medium Onion (finely chopped)
- 1 medium Green bell pepper (finely chopped)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 cup Tomato sauce (no salt added)
- 0.25 cup Ketchup (low sugar)
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tsp Yellow mustard
- 1 tsp Chili powder
- 0.5 tsp Smoked paprika
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper

Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the chopped onion and green bell pepper. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, until softened.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the ground turkey to the skillet, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until no longer pink and cooked through.
Reduce the heat to medium-low, then stir in the tomato sauce, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, yellow mustard, chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Simmer the mixture for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened and flavors are well combined.
Toast the whole wheat hamburger buns, if desired, for extra texture.
Spoon the turkey mixture onto the bottom half of each bun, then top with the other half of the bun.
Serve warm and enjoy your Low Fat Turkey Sloppy Joes!
