    I was disappointed by this recipe. If you are looking for a Sloppy Joe substitute, this isn’t it. It tastes overwhelmingly like crushed tomatoes and tomato paste. I added cumin and chili powder to give it some taste. That salvaged it, but made it taste like Coney Island or chili.

    This is delicious! I used 96% lean hamburger instead of turkey. I also used a low carb high fiber wrap instead of a bun. Follow recipe exactly to ensure you don’t get too much of a particular taste. I make this recipe weekly.
