I liked it - I used ground turkey - and my husband never guessed it wasn't ground meat!

I really liked this recipe. My only substitution was omitting the pepper due to a sensitivity to them. Will try it with lean ground beef next time.

The recipe is easily made with ingredients that are not hard to find, and the instructions were clear. I was successful following the steps as written.

My ingredients / changes:
- added 1/2 tsp salt, double the garlic, and the black pepper to the meat before browning
- I had only a green pepper, so omitted that ingredient
- low on Tabasco, so used cayenne, 1/8 tsp
- used honey option, not packets of sweetener

Notes
- My results look nothing like the photo that accompanies the recipe. I have never browned ground turkey so that it looked like ground beef. I find that photo misleading. The results in my skillet were not visually appealing.
- After sauteing the onion, there wasn't much aroma during preparation.
- The texture was similar to other mixtures with ground turkey; no surprises

Conclusion
I won't make this again any time soon. I'm not going to give it a thumbs down, because I think this would suit lots of people's taste. We like more intense flavor than this recipe provides. Maybe doubling the tomato paste, mustard, cayenne, and honey would help. I did double the garlic.

We're making the transition to a diet that's more supportive of controlling T2D, but we're not willing to "go bland." Maybe this wasn't the best recipe to try early on.

OMG! Best BBQ I've ever made or ate and best of all you know it's healthy for you. Will share and make this recipe again!????
