A classic and a family favorite. These Ground Turkey Sloppy Joes are sure to win over even the pickiest eaters, my kids even asked for seconds!
Sloppy Joes are a classic! They have been a favorite of mine since I was a child and I love being able to now make them for my kids. I have made so many different versions over the years and these Ground Turkey Sloppy Joes are simple to make and a family favorite. I remember my dad always telling us bad dad jokes about his friend Joe who wanted this dish to be called sloppy Jims instead and my sister and I eating to see who could end up the messiest after dinner. So many memories around this classic dish and I hope to be able to make some more with my children.

This is so easy and so yum! I make this about once a month. I put cheese on the burger bun right before I pile this on. Definitely a favorite.
My husband loves to put cheese on his sloppy joes as well!
Great recipe, I did add some green peppers and onions, used more Worcestershire sauce and a splash of Tabasco and skipped the onion powder, thanks!
We make this recipe all the time, it is quick and so good. Definitely love that is not super “sloppy”. Has some consistency. I won’t go back to beef sloppy joes after using turkey.
I'm so glad you like the recipe Kendall!
This was amazing!!! I added some red bell peppers. I was looking for a turkey sloppy joe recipe since I don’t eat beef as much. This fit the bill. I will be making this again.
Thank you very much! I am glad you like it!
Following the recipe exactly, my sloppy joes were not sloppy at all...I don't think there is enough liquid in this recipe to do that. Maybe add more tomato sauce? The flavor was a little off-putting for me as well, so I will not be adding this to my rotation.
I'm sorry to hear that. Hopefully you enjoy some of my other recipes!
I added red bell pepper to this and it was AMAZING. My boyfriend said this recipe is a definite keeper.
So happy to hear that!! Glad y'all liked it so much!
