These turkey sloppy joes are a quick and easy weeknight dinner made with lean ground turkey, a zesty homemade sloppy joe sauce and then served with toasted buns.
In a large skillet, cook the turkey, onion, and red pepper over medium heat until lightly browned. Season with salt and pepper. Add the garlic the last minute of cooking. Drain any excess fat.
Stir in ketchup, BBQ sauce, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Season with salt and black pepper. Cover and reduce heat to low.
Simmer 10 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sauce is thickened but not too dry. Add more ketchup or 1 to 3 Tablespoons water, if more liquid is needed.
Spoon into hamburger buns to serve.
Notes
Toasted buns: To toast your hamburger buns, heat 1 to 2 Tablespoons butter on a griddle over medium heat. Then place the hamburger buns on and cook 1 to 3 minutes, or until the bottoms are lightly toasted. This will add great flavor and prevent the buns from getting soggy.
