If you need to cut down on your red meat consumption but love this family-favorite meal option, try out these turkey Sloppy Joes for a nice change of pace. This recipe was developed to ensure that the ground turkey could sop up all that sauce-y goodness—without drying out.

Serve these fabulously messy sandwiches with fresh coleslaw that has a quick red wine vinegar and sour cream dressing. If you end up with leftover coleslaw, add it to a rice bowl. Also, add a little more tomato sauce to any leftover meat, then serve it over pasta.

Ingredients

Sloppy Joes

  • 1 tablespoon canola oil

  • 1 pound ground turkey

  • 1 onion, chopped

  • 1 clove garlic, chopped

  • 1 8-ounce can tomato sauce

  • ¼ cup dark brown sugar

  • ¼ cup barbecue sauce

  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

  • kosher salt and black pepper

  • 4 hamburger buns

Coleslaw

  • ⅓ cup sour cream

  • 1/4 small red cabbage, thinly sliced (about 1 cup)

  • 2 carrots, grated

Directions

  1. In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the turkey, onion, and garlic and cook, breaking the meat up with a spoon, until browned, 3 to 5 minutes.

  2. Mix the tomato sauce, sugar, barbecue sauce, and Worcestershire into the turkey mixture; season with ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Reduce heat and simmer until thickened, 3 to 5 minutes.
