Report
These zippy, tangy Sloppy Joes are made healthier with lean ground turkey and plenty of veg. The classic Sloppy Joe sauce gets a kick from Dijon mustard and cayenne pepper.

Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together the tomato paste, ketchup, brown sugar, dijon mustard, worcestershire sauce, pepper, cayenne, chili powder, cumin and vinegar. Set aside.
- Heat the olive oil in the skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Stir in the onions, bell pepper and celery and salt. Sauté for 3-4 minutes or until the vegetables are softened and slightly translucent. Add the garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Add the ground turkey and break it up with the back of a spoon or fork as it browns so that the turkey resembles little crumbles.
- Add the Sloppy Joe sauce to the cooked turkey and vegetables and stir to combine. Stir in the water and heat to a low simmer. Place the lid on the pan and gently simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Mixture should be saucy, if it's too dry add water a few tablespoons at a time.
- Stir in the browning sauce, if using. Taste for seasoning and adjust to taste.
- Divide the sloppy joe mixture between the brioche buns and serve. Great with coleslaw, fries or tater tots.
