Turkey Sloppy Joes

Ingredients

• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 small yellow onion, finely diced
• 0.5 medium green bell pepper, finely diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 lb ground turkey (93% lean)
• 0.5 cup tomato ketchup
• 1 tbsp tomato paste
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tbsp yellow mustard
• 1 tbsp brown sugar
• 0.5 cup low-sodium chicken broth
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper
• 4 buns brioche hamburger buns, toasted

Instructions

1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high until it shimmers. Add the onion and bell pepper and cook, stirring, until softened and translucent, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
2. Add the ground turkey and break it into fine crumbles with a wooden spoon. Cook until no pink remains, 6 to 7 minutes, letting some of the meat catch and brown on the pan.
3. Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute until it darkens, then add the ketchup, Worcestershire, mustard, and brown sugar. Stir to coat the meat evenly.
4. Pour in the chicken broth and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and clings to the meat with no loose liquid pooling, 8 to 10 minutes.
5. Taste and adjust salt or a pinch more brown sugar if you want it sweeter. Spoon the saucy turkey generously onto the toasted brioche bun bottoms, cap with the tops, and serve while hot and glossy.
