Stovetop Sloppy Joes

Does anything scream childhood like sloppy joes? Well, maybe hotdogs, but sloppy joes are a close second! I love them, but sadly store bought seasoning packets just aren't that great for you.

Insert this amazingly easy and delicious recipe from The Real Food Dietitians. I changed the recipe a bit because I like mine a little more sloppy, and a little less meaty. Here we go...

Ingredients
2 lbs ground turkey
1 tbsp olive oil
1 yellow onion, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
12oz no-salt added tomato paste
1 cup water
3 tbsp yellow mustard
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1/2 tsp tamari (or soy sauce) **I believe tamari is NOT allowed on Whole30, can use fish sauce
1/2 tsp paprika
2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
4 sweet potatoes

Directions
1) In a large dutch oven or pasta pot, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion and pepper and saute until soft.
2) Add turkey and brown.
3) When turkey is cooked, add in remaining ingredients (minus the sweet potatoes) and simmer for 10 minutes.
4) Once the sloppy joe mix is simmering, you can pop your sweet potatoes in the microwave. I loved eating this as an open-face spud, but you could totally peel/slice the sweet potatoes, like the original recipe says, and roast them for a bit for "sandwiches."

ENJOY!!
