Ingredients
  

  • 2 Cloves Garlic Minced
  • 1 Pound Ground Turkey
  • ¾ Cup Ketchup
  • 3 Tablespoons Brown Sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • ½ Teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • ¼ Teaspoon Onion Powder
  • Ground Pepper To taste
  • 4 Hamburger Buns
  • Sliced Pickles

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl, combine ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Stir well until all ingredients are thoroughly mixed. 
  • Once mixed, your sauce is ready to add to the cooked ground meat.
  • Set your stove to medium heat using a skillet. Once hot, add a small amount of olive oil, then add the ground turkey. Cook the turkey, breaking it into pieces, until browned.
  • Add your prepared sauce to the browned meat. Stir until the sauce is evenly mixed with the turkey. Cover the skillet and let the sloppy joe mixture simmer for about 15 minutes.
  • Serve the mixture warm on a bun and top with pickles. Enjoy your delicious Skillet Ground Turkey Sloppy Joes!

Notes

Enhance the Flavor with Spices: Add a pinch of smoked paprika or a dash of chili powder to the sauce for an extra layer of smoky or spicy flavor that complements the turkey.
Toast the Buns: Lightly toast the hamburger buns in the skillet or under a broiler for a few minutes before serving. This adds a slight crunch and prevents the buns from getting soggy.
Let the Mixture Rest: After simmering, let the sloppy joe mixture sit covered for a few minutes off the heat. This allows the flavors to meld more thoroughly and makes the texture even better before serving.
