Turkey Sloppy Joes

A delicious and hearty twist on the classic sloppy joes using ground turkey and flavorful ingredients.

Ingredients

  • butter (2 tablespoons)
  • onion (1 )
  • salt (0 )
  • ground turkey (1.25 pounds)
  • cold water (0.5 cup)
  • ketchup (0.75 cup)
  • brown sugar (1.5 tablespoons)
  • cayenne pepper (0.5 teaspoon)
  • Worcestershire sauce (0.5 teaspoon)
  • unsweetened cocoa powder (0.5 teaspoon)
  • water (1 cup)
  • hamburger buns (6 )
  • shredded white Cheddar cheese (0.5 cup)
  • chopped green onions (0.33 cup)

Instructions

  1. Melt butter in a heavy skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir onion in butter until lightly brown, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper.
  2. Mix turkey and 1/2 cup cold water into onions. Cook and stir, breaking up the meat, until it begins to brown, about 2 minutes. Add ketchup, brown sugar, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Cook and stir until liquid is reduced, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in Worcestershire sauce and cocoa powder. Cook, stirring frequently, until meat is cooked through and liquid is reduced and thick, 20 to 30 minutes, adding up to 1 cup water if needed.
  4. Preheat the oven's broiler. Set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
  5. Toast hamburger buns under the preheated broiler until golden, 2 to 3 minutes.
  6. Remove turkey mixture from the heat; mix in cheese and green onions. Serve on toasted hamburger buns.
