Cooking Instructions:
- Begin by heating a large heavy pan over medium heat.
- Add the ground turkey to the pan and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until it is no longer pink, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks.
- Once the turkey is cooked, add the chopped onion to the pan and sauté for an additional 3 to 5 minutes, or until the onion is softened and translucent.
- Next, add the chopped celery, green pepper, corn, tomato sauce, honey, and all the seasonings (cayenne powder, paprika, dry mustard, and chili powder) to the pan with the turkey mixture.
- Stir everything together until well combined, then cover the pan and reduce the heat to low. Allow the mixture to simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
- Once the flavors have melded together and the mixture has thickened slightly, it’s ready to serve.
- Spoon the turkey mixture onto hamburger buns or your preferred choice of bread, and enjoy the savory goodness of these Low Fat Turkey Sloppy Joes!
