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.

This brings back memories! We used to eat these for school lunches! There’s actually another kind of sandwich called the Sloppy Joe in central/northern NJ – It’s a triple decker on rye w/russian dressing, cheese, meat and coleslaw.

We had sloppy joes two days ago….tried some Valentina Mexican hot sauce to add a little kick….Too Much Kick ♫♪ Still craving more water…

Your picture is making me so hungry! Thanks for this great-looking recipe 🙂
Sounds great! I’m pinning so I can make it after the price of ground turkey goes down ~ $7 a pound last week.
Thanks for pinning Allyson!
Wow – that’s absurd! Crazy Covid-19 prices!
Fortunately we were able to get some at a better price – we’re enjoying a batch right now!
Mmmm, I love sloppy joes! I have not made it with ground turkey yet but I have made it with shredded chicken. It’s all so good! Thanks for sharing your healthy recipe and linking with me.
