Steps

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or pan over medium heat. Add the onion and bell pepper and sauté for 5-6 minutes, or until softened.

  2. Add the garlic to the pan and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.

  3. Add the ground turkey (or beef) to the skillet and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes.

  4. Stir in the tomato sauce, tomato paste, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, honey (or maple syrup), smoked paprika, and chili powder. Mix everything well and let it simmer for 5-10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

  5. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  6. Serve the sloppy joe mixture on whole wheat hamburger buns, or enjoy it on its own for a low-carb version. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
