    These were really delicious, I didn't think ground turkey Sloppy Joes would taste so good. All the ingredients add a freshness to the flavor. My family kept telling me how much they loved the recipe because it taste better than the can. This is going to be my go to recipe for Sloppy Joes and I can't believe even my youngest ate them, she hates vegetables.

    This is a really good basic recipe. I browned the turkey with olive oil first with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder and pepper. I added the onion and bell pepper once the turkey was almost done. Once the veggies were near the desired doneness, I added the remaining ingredients. This recipe will be in regular rotation. No one missed the ground beef.
