- 1 Green Pepper
- 1 Habanero Optional- Only add if you want it Spicy!
- 2 Cloves Garlic
- 1 Tablespoon Tomato Paste
- 1 Pound 99% ground turkey Or Ground Chicken Breast
- 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
- 1 Can Tomato Sauce 15 oz can
- ¼ Cup Sugar-free Ketchup
- 2 Tablespoon Apple Cider Vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- ½ Tablespoon Dry Mustard
- 1 Tablespoons Brown Sugar Optional- Only add if you want it sweeter
Instructions
- To prepare the ingredients for your recipe, start by chopping a green pepper into small chunks. Then, chop an onion to about the same size as the green pepper, and mince some garlic. If you want to add some spice to your dish, you can also chop a habanero pepper. However, be careful with the habanero as it can be very spicy - you may want to use only half of it depending on your preference.
- Heat Olive Oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add Bell pepper, Onion, Garlic, Habanero (if using), and salt. Cook for a couple of minutes until the pepper and onions are tender.
- Add Ground Turkey. Cook over medium heat until turkey is done - about 5 or 6 minutes. Because there isn't a lot of oil, the turkey may stick to the pan, you can add a ¼ cup of water to stop sticking.
- When the turkey is done, Combine tomato sauce, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, apple cider vinegar, dry mustard, and ¼ cup of water. If you want to add some sweetness, add 1 Tablespoon Brown Sugar. Stir this sauce into turkey mixture to combine.
- Bring to a boil. Then simmer for 15 to 20 minutes until mixture has thickened.
- While the Sloppy Joe's are simmering pour a glass of wine and relax! Serve Sloppy Joes on a Hamburger Bun and with homemade french fries and steamed broccoli
