How to Make Sloppy Janes

Sloppy Joes get a makeover with lean ground turkey instead of beef, plus plenty of zing from garlic, onions, peppers, tomatoes and hot sauce.

Step-By-Step Instructions:

  1. Add cooking spray to a nonstick sauté pan over medium-high heat.

  2. Add onion, red bell pepper and garlic. Sauté for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.

  3. Add turkey and sauté 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently until turkey is just cooked through.

  4. Add tomato paste, Dijon mustard, hot sauce, tomatoes, honey and ground black pepper. Bring to a simmer for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.

  5. Toast the hamburger buns. Fill each bun with 1/2 cup turkey mixture to make 8 sandwiches. Optional: top each sandwich with lettuce, red onion, or pickles for crunch.

Sloppy Jane doesn’t taste The same as a sloppy Joe, however it’s a nice switch up, especially if you have dietary restrictions due to diabetes ❤️

I omitted the hot sauce and tomato paste and substituted two tablespoons of sugar free bbq sauce. It gave it the perfect sloppy Joe flavor.
