Healthier Sloppy Joes

Ingredients:

16oz ground turkey
1/2 cup onion
1/4 cup red bell pepper
2 carrots
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tsp Dijon mustard
3/4 cup ketchup (I use all-natural ketchup and prefer: 78 Brand Ketchup)
1 tablespoon brown sugar
sea salt and ground black pepper, to taste

Directions:

  1. Prep Work:  Dice the onion and red bell pepper.  Finely chop the carrots.
  2. Skillet Work:  Place a large skillet over medium-high heat.  Once skillet is hot, add 2 tsp of olive oil and add ground turkey, red bell pepper, onion, and carrots.  Stir occasionally until turkey is browned (approx. 8 minutes).
  3. Stir in mustard, ketchup, and brown sugar and mix thoroughly.  Reduce heat to low and simmer until sauce thickens.  Salt and pepper, to taste.
  4. Serve as loose meat (gluten-free option) or with whole wheat buns.
