Sloppy Toms

Sloppy Joes are simple to make without using canned mixes. WIth some ground turkey hiding in the freezer I switched up my usual recipe for sloppy joes. Leftovers freeze well. Just thaw and reheat for a quick meal.

Delicious sloppy joes. I loved the use of ground turkey. Once the turkey was combined with all of the sauce ingredients, it tasted just like ground beef. The only change I made was to swap out the bell peppers with celery due to family preference. Great recipe! Made for Spring Pick A Chef in the Contests/Events forum.
