Turkey Sloppy Joes are such a delicious, healthy dinner. This recipe uses whole food ingredients to make this fantastic comfort food.

These Turkey Sloppy Joes are a treat for me every time they’re on the menu.

I grew up with a strong aversion to anything that had tomato in it, so it wasn’t until adulthood that I enjoyed my first sloppy joe. I do like tomatoes now, but I still can’t stand ketchup so I stop reading a recipe immediately if I see ketchup in the ingredient list.

These turkey sloppy joes, which are based on Rachel Ray’s Super Sloppy Joe Recipe, use tomato sauce and lots of seasonings to give them a great flavor. I serve them on homemade biscuits, but this also tastes great as a baked potato topping. You can substitute ground beef for the turkey if that’s what you have on hand.

  1. This is my families favorite sloppy joes recipe hands down. We have used both beef and turkey and it’s just as good either way. Thank you for the great recipe!!!

  2. Pinning to my Pinterest because there’s nothing here we don’t like so I’ll have to give these a try. Is your preference Maple Syrup or Honey? I’m pretty intrigued by the syrup. 🙂
