These Turkey Sloppy Joes were a win with everyone… even the kids! Plus, I got some extra veggies hidden inside! This is a quick meal to put together and if there is any left it makes great left overs.
How to make Turkey Sloppy Joes
Start by heating a skillet or cast iron pan over medium heat. Add the oil and heat for 30 seconds. Add chopped shallots, grated carrots and chopped garlic. Cook until soft about 5-8 minutes, stir frequently.
Next, add ground turkey and cook until almost browned.
Last, add the Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, ketchup, BBQ sauce, salt, and pepper. Cook until turkey is all the way cooked through and sauce is hot.
While waiting for the turkey, butter the inside of the rolls and toast on a hot skillet. When the turkey mixture and rolls are ready, assemble your sandwiches and enjoy!
