Ever get a hankering for one of your favorite childhood meals?
Last week, out of the blue, I decided I was in the mood for a Sloppy Joe. I have no idea where that craving came from – I haven’t had one in years. So, I asked Prince Charming if he had a secret recipe for Sloppy Joes up his sleeve.
Let me tell you, Prince Charming makes the most amazing Sloppy Joes! The sandwich he made me was so incredibly flavorful, I just had to share the recipe with you! Your husbands will love it. Your children will love it. And, most of all, you will love it, because it is healthier than most Sloppy Joe recipes!
Enjoy!
Ingredients
60 Ounces (3 Packages) Ground Turkey
3 Large Brown Onions, Finely Chopped
4 Large Green Bell Peppers, Finely Chopped
4-5 Tablespoons Olive Oil
2 Teaspoons Black Pepper
3-4 Tablespoons Garlic Powder
½ to ¾ Cup BBQ Sauce
Instructions
1. Combine everything except for the BBQ sauce in a pan.
2. Cook until the green peppers are tender, the onions are translucent, and the ground turkey is brown – approximately 20 minutes.
3. Add the BBQ sauce and mix thoroughly.
4. Cook until you achieve the desired consistency – not too much liquid and not too dry.
Serving Suggestions
Serve over rice or on a toasted hamburger or potato bun.

That looks soooo tasty! I have substituted ground turkey for ground beef in many of my family's favourite recipes but have never swapped it in our sloppy joes. I am definitely trying your recipe! Thanks for sharing!

We ate Turkey Sloppy Joes last night for supper! They must be on the brain. 🙂
hi 🙂 Out of curiosity I followed you link here from Jen's 11th Heaven Homemakers Monday.
Yes, out of curiosity. See, recently somebody gave me a recipe for "healthier" Sloppy Joe's, And I wanted to compare yours with it. Turns out the two are very different! The one that was given to me calls for: Hamburg, onion, celery, vinegar, brown sugar, mustard, catchup, water, Worchest. sauce, and oatmeal.
I should tell you that at first I cringed when I read "Ground Turkey" at the top of your recipe. Big time! See, years ago now, we were served sloppy joe's made out of ground turkey. Our hostess had made them out of ground turkey and tomato sauce. NOTHING more! No spice. No flavorings. No thickener. NOTHING more. And they were horrible!!!
But I shall continue on and tell you that you redeemed yourself and stopped my cringing, by what else you added to your recipe. ;-> I no longer feel sorry for the people who had to eat yours. o;-p!
Mmm I have a Sloppy Joe recipe on my blog as well…I'm not sure of how healthy it is though.
Swinging by from hop a little Tuesday, I'm already a follower but wanted to leave some love.
Yummy! These sound great.
Sounds yummy! My husband loves sloppy joes, I'll have to try this healthier version.

This looks SO yummy! I am going to have to try to sneak it in one night for dinner with my husband who "doesn't like turkey" I swear he is pickier than the kids when it comes to healthy stuff! :0)
Followed you from the Tiggerific Blog Hop. Hope you have a Magical Day!

Hi Ramona,
Who wouldn't just love this healthy Sloppy Joe, I looks delicious. Thanks for sharing with Full Plate Thursday and come back soon!
Ramona, these treats look wonderful! I haven't had sloppy joes in ages, and I love your take on it with turkey. Thanks for bringing to Friday Potluck…
P.S. it looks like your list of Friday Parties didn't make it to your links sections 🙂
Never thought I would see healthy and sloppy joe in the same sentence. Thanks for linking this up to Fat Camp Friday! Hope to see you next week!
It's kind of funny because a while back I was craving "good old sloppy joes" like what I remembered as a kid. So what did I do? Yep, went out and bought the big can and mixed it with some ground chuck. Boy was I DISAPPOINTED-nothing like I remembered. It was horrible-we threw out the leftovers. I'll have to give this one a try soon.
Definitely a different version of Sloppy joe's than I am used to… I want to try this out one day! Thanks for posting it.
Sounds delish!
Hi sweet P!!! Sorry I am late to commenting, but you wouldn't believe the computer issues I have been having! Thank goodness all is well now! One of my husband's favorite dishes is sloppy joe and to him that means manwich and I have been trying for years to make a better and healthier variety! I have come up with lots of options and I will definitely be trying yours. I think at this point his "childhood memories" of manwich are far better than the real thing! Thanks so much for sharing this with us on the hearth and soul hop! hugs! Alex
My husband hates turkey but I think even he'd like this!

This looks like a crowd pleaser. I don’t cook with ground turkey nearly enough and this recipe looks like a good place to start.
Heck yeah, dinner tonight is covered!
I have a 13 yr old who does not eat mammals – so we are all about ground turkey and ground chicken over here – yum!
