Description

Sloppy joes get a makeover in this recipe that boosts ground turkey with sweet and tart flavor from Granny Smith apple and anise-flavored tarragon.

Ingredients

1 pound ground turkey
3/4 cup chopped onion
3/4 cup chopped red bell pepper
1/2 cup diced peeled Granny Smith apple
1 1/4 cups ketchup
1/3 cup water, or more as needed
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon white sugar
1 teaspoon minced fresh tarragon leaves
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves

Directions

1 Place ground turkey, onion, bell pepper, and apple into a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir until turkey is browned and crumbly, 7 to 9 minutes.
2 Stir ketchup, water, Dijon mustard, cider vinegar, sugar, tarragon, salt, and cloves into the skillet. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes, adding a little more water if mixture gets a bit thick.
