Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground turkey
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 medium Yellow onion, finely diced
- 1 medium Green bell pepper, finely diced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.5 cup Ketchup
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons Mustard
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Water
- 4 pieces Hamburger buns or rolls
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the diced onion and green bell pepper. Cook for 3–4 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the ground turkey to the skillet, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Cook until the turkey is browned and fully cooked, about 5–7 minutes.
Drain any excess liquid or fat from the pan, if necessary.
Stir in the ketchup, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, mustard, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
Add the water to the skillet, stir, and reduce the heat to low. Let the mixture simmer for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and the flavors meld together.
Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary.
Toast the hamburger buns lightly, if desired.
Spoon the sloppy tom mixture onto the bottom halves of the buns, then top with the bun tops.
Serve warm and enjoy!
