Sloppy Joes are my son’s all-time favorite meal. I used to simply add a can of sloppy Joe sauce to browned ground beef then stir and call it dinner. But I was making this meal so often, I decided I wanted to make a homemade version.
In a large skillet, brown ground turkey.
IS GROUND TURKEY HEALTHY?
Ground turkey is a great alternative to ground beef. The key is choosing a lean ground turkey for your dishes. I typically pick 93% lean/7% fat.
Add the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, dry mustard, and salt. Stir the sauce ingredients together with the ground meat.
PRO TIP: Add additional Worcestershire sauce for extra zestiness. Add additional ketchup for a saucier sloppy joe.
Pick a side (or two) to create a complete meal. I will choose a different side each time I make my sloppy Joe recipe.
SIDE DISH Ideas
Serve your sloppy Joes on a serving platter and call your family to the table – dinner is ready!
If your family will be home at different times, keep your sloppy Joes warm in a crock-pot.
