Sloppy Janes
Sloppy Joes get a makeover with lean ground turkey instead of beef, plus plenty of zing from garlic, onions, peppers, tomatoes and hot sauce.

I really liked this recipe. My only substitution was omitting the pepper due to a sensitivity to them. Will try it with lean ground beef next time.

The recipe is easily made with ingredients that are not hard to find, and the instructions were clear. I was successful following the steps as written. My ingredients / changes: - added 1/2 tsp salt, double the garlic, and the black pepper to the meat before browning - I had only a green pepper, so omitted that ingredient - low on Tabasco, so used cayenne, 1/8 tsp - used honey option, not packets of sweetener Notes - My results look nothing like the photo that accompanies the recipe. I have never browned ground turkey so that it looked like ground beef. I find that photo misleading. The results in my skillet were not visually appealing. - After sauteing the onion, there wasn't much aroma during preparation. - The texture was similar to other mixtures with ground turkey; no surprises Conclusion I won't make this again any time soon. I'm not going to give it a thumbs down, because I think this would suit lots of people's taste. We like more intense flavor than this recipe provides. Maybe doubling the tomato paste, mustard, cayenne, and honey would help. I did double the garlic. We're making the transition to a diet that's more supportive of controlling T2D, but we're not willing to "go bland." Maybe this wasn't the best recipe to try early on.

Sloppy Jane doesn’t taste The same as a sloppy Joe, however it’s a nice switch up, especially if you have dietary restrictions due to diabetes ❤️ So glad I found this SLOPPY JANE recipe on diabetes food hub!

Not very good. If you like ground turkey you may like it though.
