I was attempting to prepare a fantastic barbecue feast with ground turkey, which I had never done before. When I created this, I only received supportive comments. This recipe I obtained turned out fantastic once I completely recreated it.

Reviews
my family loves this recipe. I’ve made it many times. I highly recommend!
Trying to cut back on fat, though skeptical about turkey instead of ground beef i tried this recipe. I followed exactly as written and must say i was really surprised at how good this turned out. I didn’t miss the beef at all. In fact i think i prefer the turkey now. Definitely a keeper. I froze in portions which were smaller than the recipe called for resulting in fewer calories per serving.
I was looking for a new sloppy joe recipe. Most use brown sugar but I didn’t feel like that this time. I made mine without the tomatoes and vinegar and they were the best I’ve ever had. I’m a simple meat and taters kind of guy and this was awesome. Even my wife said it was good.
I got a little crazy with the red pepper flakes but was it good! I make these for my mom and she loves the kick they have. Definitely great with a margarita.
Only thing I added was some molasses and honey. It was so scrumptious my husband had 2 and he loathes sloppy Joe’s!
I made this all vegan by substituting vegan beef crumbles for the turkey
turned out to be a great twist on sloppy joe! no celery salt but added a dash of Worcestershire sauce- quite delicious!
Quick, easy and yummy. I added chopped celery. Topped with sharp orange cheddar on King’s Hawaiian rolls, with a side of fries. Satisfying winter weeknight supper
I made it exactly how the recipe says. It was delish my family loved it. We are definitely having it again..
Great recipe. We served it on baked sweet potatoes.
Made it, loved it and now it is a favourite thing.
This is very easy and delicious! As with any tomato based sauce, it tastes even better after refrigerating overnight and then reheated. I will make this again!
This recipe gave me a great base to start from. I roasted the pepper first. Used chicken because that is what we prefer. Added some diced jalapenos because that is my husbands latest food phase. It was a hit.
Very good. Although, I put a little too much red pepper flakes and it was very spicy. Will definitely make it again.
It tasted very nice. I did add yellow and red peppers. I didn’t have celery seeds.
Excellent. I just added extra pepper flakes and garlic (I add garlic to just about everything) and some water to simmer.
Very tasty, i added mushrooms,red/ orange pepper and topped it with jalapenos, cheese and cilantro
Very good! Although I see the use of putting the meat in a bun, most of it is just going to fall out anyways. One side of a bun or piece of toasted bread gets most of the food up to your mouth. Still sloppy.
Yum!! I used a can of Rotell with green chilis Sweet Baby Ray’s BBQ Sauce , a big dollop of brown mustard and a sweet smoked paprika. The idea of the amount of ketchup in the original recipe was too sweet for me.
This is a fantastic recipe! Even my kid that doesn’t eat at two huge sandwiches! I just left out the pepper flakes because we are wimpy but otherwise followed it to a T! Thanks for the great recipe!!
These were delicious! Everyone in my family enjoyed this and would recommend to a friend
