Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook for 3 minutes, until it's soft. Add the garlic and red pepper to the pan and let them cook for 2 minutes.
- Add the ground turkey to the pan and cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until it is no longer pink, about 10 minutes.
- Add the tomato sauce, ketchup, Worchestershire sauce, dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and brown sugar to the pot and let it cook for 5 minutes, until it becomes sweet-smelling. Stir the chicken stock or water into the pan and let it cook for another 5 minutes. You want it to be saucy but not soupy.
- Divide the sloppy joe meat between the buns and top with some pepper jack cheese.
Notes
- Toasting the buns is optional, but not really. They taste so much better toasted that you really should do it. Butter or oil the cut sides of the buns then place them face-down in a pan on medium heat. In 2-3 minutes, you'll have deliciously toasted buns.
- This recipe also works well with ground chicken.
