I am a sucker for a sloppy joe. I don’t know what it is. Maybe the fact that I’m actually 8 years old or just that saucy, meaty combination piled high on a soft bun. For this month’s 30 Minute Thursday I wanted to bring you a new twist on one of our favorites. And who doesn’t love a good honey garlic ANYthing? If you prefer to use ground beef or ground pork in your sloppy joes, you can absolutely do that! We love our beef and pork as well, but sometimes in Swimsuit Season you want a leaner alternative and turkey or chicken is great for that. In other news, it’s my 9 year wedding anniversary today! And regardless of what it looks like, we are actually not dining on sloppy joes tonight 😉 Happy Thursday to all of you! *NOTES:
if you wanted to make these for a potluck or picnic of some sort, you could easily cook the ground turkey, then throw all of the ingredients in the slow cooker for a few hours. It will work just as well! I wanted to keep these sloppy joes on the healthier side, so I tried to avoid drowning them in sauce. The first time I made them, they had great flavor but weren’t very saucy at all. I ended up making them a second time and doubled the sauce. If you like them a little drier, you can definitely halve it! To bump up the nutrition, add in shredded zucchini and carrot when you’re cooking the turkey!
