How to make?
Ingredients
1 large carrot
1 small onion
2 stalks celery
1/2 green pepper
2 cloves garlic
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound ground turkey
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup ketchup
1 can tomato sauce
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon brown sugar
Soft hamburger buns, to serve
Coleslaw, to serve
Kettle potato chips
Pickled jalapeños
Directions
Pulse the ingredients in a food processor until they are minced. Alternatively, very finely mince the onion, carrot, green pepper, celery, and garlic with a chef's knife.
It’s very important that there are no huge chunks in the final sloppy joe mix, so if you don’t have a food processor, take your time while chopping them—do it in advance if you want. Just store the chopped veggies together in a covered container in the fridge.
In a medium to large saucepan over medium heat, add olive oil along with the minced veggies. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes until veggies soften but don’t brown. Season the veggies with salt and pepper.
Add the ground turkey to the pot. Stir it constantly to break up the turkey. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes until turkey is cooked through.
Add the ketchup, tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, and brown sugar to the pot and bring to a simmer.
Turn heat down to low and simmer the sloppy joes mixture, stirring regularly, for 6 to 8 minutes until mixture is thick.
Taste and adjust the seasonings to your liking. Serve! Serve sloppy joes piled high on soft hamburger buns served with coleslaw. Add kettle potato chips and pickled jalapeños, if desired.
