Ingredients

  • - extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 - large onion, diced (optional)
  • 1 1/2 pounds lean ground turkey
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 cups ketchup
  • 1/4 cup yellow mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar

How To Make not too sloppy joes

  • Step 1
    Set a heavy-based pot over medium-high heat and add a 3-count of olive oil. Add onions (optional) and saute for 2-3 minutes until translucent.
  • Step 2
    Add ground turkey, season well with salt and pepper and brown well all over, breaking it up with a wooden spoon (medium sized pieces, not small)- about 7-10 minutes.
  • Step 3
    Add ketchup, mustard, cayenne, brown sugar and tomato paste. Reduce heat and simmer for 10-12 minutes. Finish with a splash of red wine vinegar and season it once more before serving, to taste test.
  • Step 4
    Lightly toast buttered rolls (I place them in a toaster to lightly brown). Heap some of the sloppy joe mixture onto the toasted roll and sprinkle with some shredded cheddar cheese!
