Tips:

To make your sloppy joes even more flavorful, try using a combination of ground turkey and ground beef or pork.
Be sure to brown the ground turkey well before adding the other ingredients. This will help to develop the flavor of the meat.
Feel free to adjust the amount of chili powder and cumin to suit your taste. If you like things spicy, you can add more chili powder. If you prefer a milder flavor, you can use less.
For a healthier version of this recipe, use whole wheat buns and top them with plenty of fresh vegetables, such as lettuce, tomato, and onion.
If you're short on time, you can use a jar of your favorite sloppy joe sauce instead of making your own. Just be sure to doctor it up with some of the spices listed in this recipe.

Conclusion:

Spicy turkey sloppy joes are a quick and easy meal that the whole family will love. They're perfect for a weeknight dinner or a casual gathering. Serve them on buns with your favorite toppings, and enjoy!
