Ingredients
-
1 lb. ground turkey or beef
-
1 small white onion, minced
-
2 stalks celery, minced
-
1 green bell pepper, minced
-
3 cloves garlic, minced
-
½ cup ketchup

1 tbsp. chili powder
-
3 tbsp. Worcestershire
-
3 tbsp. yellow mustard
-
1 tbsp. white vinegar

8 whole wheat buns
Directions
Roughly chop your white onion, celery, bell pepper and garlic. Place veggies in food processor and briefly blend to mince.
Brown your ground turkey or beef in a skillet with your minced vegetables.
Meanwhile, combine remaining ingredients (ketchup, tomato paste, brown sugar, chili powder, Worcestershire, mustard, and vinegar) in your crockpot.
Once meat is browned, pour off excess liquid and add (with vegetables) to your crockpot. Mix thoroughly.
Cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 4-6 for best results.
Tips: Sloppy Joes pair great with baked beans and/or sweet potatoes. Also, try drizzling your favorite mustard overtop your sandwich for an even more mouthwatering flavor.
