Ground Turkey Sloppy Joes by Mina Goodman, RDN
This delicious open face Turkey Sloppy Joe sandwich is just as tasty as the ground beef version, but leaner in fat. Making homemade sauce is healthier than using any store bought versions because you get to control the ingredients! Add some finely diced veggies to the mix and you've got yourself a healthy bite packed with protein, vitamins and minerals plus plenty of fiber.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion, bell pepper, and carrot. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 6 to 8 minutes.
Add garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, 30 seconds. Add turkey and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until no longer pink, 4 to 6 minutes.
Add chili powder and cinnamon. Cook, stirring occasionally, 1 minute. Add tomato sauce and relish. Simmer until beginning to thicken, 2 to 4 minutes. Stir in Worcestershire and 1 tablespoon vinegar.
Spoon meat mixture on top of toast and serve immediately.
NOTE: If find if you toast the bread just before serving, it crisps it up a bit for a sturdier bite.
