Time 1h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 red bell pepper, finely chopped
1 yellow onion, finely chopped
Kosher salt
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon paprika
2 pounds ground turkey
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 teaspoons harissa paste
2 teaspoons brown sugar
One 14-ounce can crushed tomatoes
2 slices preserved lemon, rinsed and finely chopped
8 pita (store-bought or homemade)
Sliced pickles, crumbled feta and chopped fresh parsley, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the bell pepper, onion and a pinch of salt and cook, stirring, until softened, about 7 minutes. Add the garlic, cumin and paprika and cook for another minute. Add the turkey and sprinkle it with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. Cook, breaking up with a wooden spoon or spatula, until browned all the way through. Add the tomato paste, harissa, brown sugar and tomatoes. Simmer over medium heat for 20 minutes. Stir in the preserved lemon. Taste and adjust the seasoning as desired.
  • To serve, stack the pitas and wrap in in foil. Heat the oven until warm, a few minutes. Cut the tops off and fill with the turkey mixture. Top with the pickles, feta and parsley.

These sloppy joes are a great way to use up leftover ground beef.

I made these sloppy joes in my slow cooker and they turned out perfect. I just threw all the ingredients in the slow cooker and let it cook on low for 8 hours.

I'm allergic to tomatoes so I used a tomato-free ketchup. The sloppy joes still turned out great!

I didn't have any Worcestershire sauce so I used soy sauce instead. It turned out fine, but I think the Worcestershire sauce would have been better.

The sloppy joes were a bit dry. I would recommend adding more sauce next time.

These sloppy joes were a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less brown sugar next time.

These sloppy joes are so messy, but they're so worth it!

I used slider buns instead of regular hamburger buns and they were perfect for these sloppy joes.

I added some chopped green peppers and onions to the sauce and it gave it a nice crunch.

I love that this recipe uses ground turkey instead of beef. It's a healthier option and it tastes just as good.

I was a bit skeptical about using ketchup in the sauce, but it turned out great. The ketchup adds a nice sweetness that balances out the acidity of the vinegar.

I've made sloppy joes many times before, but this recipe is by far the best. The addition of brown sugar and Worcestershire sauce really takes the flavor up a notch.

These sloppy joes were a hit with my family! The sauce was tangy and flavorful, and the beef was tender and juicy. I will definitely be making these again.
