1 Tbl. olive oil
1 1/2 Lbs. ground turkey
1 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1 1/2 tsp. onion powder
1 1/2 tsp. smoked paprika
salt and pepper
1 green bell pepper, ribbed, seeded and chopped
1/2 c. finely chopped onion
1/2 (28 oz.) can crushed tomatoes
2 Tbl. packed light brown sugar
1/2 c. ketchup
1 Tbl. Dijon mustard
splash of apple cider vinegar
1 Tbl. Worcestershire sauce
5-6 hamburger buns, toasted
Miracle Whip or Mayonnaise
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt and pepper. Cook, breaking up with the back of a wooden spoon until the meat is no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Add the bell pepper and onion and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the crushed tomatoes, brown sugar, ketchup, Dijon mustard, vinegar and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally until sauce thickens, about 10-15 minutes. Serve on toasted hamburger buns with Miracle Whip or Mayonnaise. Makes 5-6 sandwiches.
Jenn's Notes: My turkey came in a 1.25 Lb. package and that is what I used. Kelsey serves these as sliders, but we opted for regular-sized sandwiches.
