Ingredients

Now, let’s talk ingredients. You’ll be needing:

1 lb ground turkey or lean ground beef
1 cup chopped onion
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 cup tomato sauce (low sodium)
1 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce (low sodium)
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
Whole wheat buns for serving

Instructions

Now that we’ve got our ingredients ready, let’s get cooking. Follow these easy steps:

In a large skillet, brown the ground turkey or beef over medium heat. Make sure to break it up into crumbles as it cooks; this will help it blend nicely with the sauce.
Add in the chopped onion and green bell pepper. Cook them together until they’re tender and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the tomato sauce, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and any salt and pepper you desire. Mix it all well until everything is combined.
Let the mixture simmer on low heat for about 15-20 minutes, giving those flavors time to meld together. Stir occasionally to keep it from sticking.
Once everything is cooked through and smelling amazing, it’s time to serve! Spoon generous portions onto whole wheat buns, and if you like, add your favorite toppings like shredded lettuce or pickles.

And there you have it! A low sodium sloppy joe that’s sure to impress. Not only is it a healthier option, but it’s a homemade meal that brings joy to the table. Enjoy!
