My girls and I love Sloppy Joe's. This is a much healthier version. It's easy to make, and far less fat & calories. They are also very filling.
TURKEY JOES:
(Serves 2)
Ingredients:

Directions:
~In a medium skillet over medium heat, brown the ground turkey, onion, red pepper, green pepper & garlic, until turkey is browned.
~Stir in mustard, ketchup, brown sugar, liquid smoke, vinegar & worcestershire sauce.
~Reduce heat, and simmer for 30-40 minutes.
~Add water if mixture becomes to thick (a little at a time).
~Add salt & pepper.
~Open sandwich thins.
~Scoop Turkey Joes over half of the sandwich thin.
