    You're probably wondering what a ground turkey sloppy joes is if you've never heard of it before. It's a sandwich that consists of ground beef (can sub ground turkey or textured vegetable protein) and it has ketchup, onions, and different seasonings added to it. You can take sloppy joes to a party of any type. I used ground turkey though cause it's Zero Points on Weight Watchers.

    Once you cook the turkey and all the other ingredients in the skillet, just throw it in the slower cooker and keep it on low until it is ready to serve. Sloppy Joes are a pretty common here in the Midwest and can be seen at many potluck events.

    Why You Will Like this Recipe

    The secret ingredient to this sloppy joe is the can of chicken gumbo soup. You might think that is a little strange adding it to the sloppy joe mix but trust me on this. I used to think this was really weird as a kid and when I found out my mom or dad had added that to their sloppy joe's it grossed me out. Now it doesn't. Maybe it was a texture thing back then, who knows?

    History of Sloppy Joes

    Early 20th century American cookbooks offer plenty of sloppy-joe type recipes, though they go by different titles: Toasted Deviled Hamburgers, Chopped Meat Sandwiches, Hamburg a la Creole, Beef Mironton, and Minced Beef Spanish Style. According to Marylin Brown, the sloppy joe sandwich began Sioux City Iowa cafe and they called it "loose meat sandwich" back in the 1930s. civilwartalk.com

    Ingredients Needed

    • Ground Turkey - can be used in place of ground beef in most recipes and is a great way to reduce the amount of saturated fat in your diet. It is also a good source of protein and can be a healthier option for those looking to cut down on red meat consumption.
    • Brown sugar - Is made by combining granulated white sugar with molasses, which gives it a brown color and a slightly different taste than regular white sugar.
    • White wine vinegar - is a type of vinegar made from white wine. It is a common ingredient in cooking and is known for its acidic, tangy flavor.
    • Prepared mustard - is a condiment made from mustard seeds that have been ground into a paste and mixed with vinegar, water, and other flavorings.
    • Worcestershire sauce -  Adds a savory, umami flavor to dressings. It is commonly used in Caesar salad dressing, as well as in dressings for steak salads and other meat-based salads.
    • Chicken gumbo soup(undiluted) - One of the benefits of using canned chicken gumbo soup is that it can be ready in just a matter of minutes.
    • Salt and pepper to taste (see notes)
    • Hamburger buns
    • See the recipe card below for a full list of ingredients and measurements.

    Optional Ingredients

    Instead of ground turkey use ground chicken - Try Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken Sandwiches if you like Sloppy Joes

    Spices to mix up the flavor: paprika, yellow mustard, green pepper, garlic 

    Add veggies like onion, celery, or pepper 

    Add some cheese slices like pepper jack cheese and pickles to the top of the sandwich. 

    How to Make Sloppy Joes on a Stove Top 

    Spray a large skillet with non stick cooking spray.

    In the skillet, add the ground turkey and cook until no longer pink over medium - low heat. 

    When the ground turkey is done cooking add the ketchup followed by the rest of the ingredients and ending at the can of chicken gumbo soup. 

    Simmer on low for 10 minutes. Spoon meat mixture onto buns and serve.

    Recipe FAQS

    What can I serve this with?

    I'd serve these sloppy joes with some Air Fryer Potato Wedges or Easy Homemade Pickles.

    How to store leftovers?


    Always store leftovers in clean, food-grade containers. The type of container doesn’t really matter. Use zip lock, glass, plastic,  whatever!  Make sure to store any leftovers in an airtight container before putting it in the freezer or fridge. 

    Can Sloppy Joes be made the day ahead?

    Let the sloppy joe meat come to room temperature before placing it in the storage container. Heat it up in a slow cooker or microwave the day you want to serve it.
