You're probably wondering what a ground turkey sloppy joe 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.

Sloppy Joe Mixture
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

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