Description

My mom has been making this basic sloppy joe recipe for so long that when I asked her how she made them, she had to make a batch to be sure of the measurements. These are no fancy joes - nothing but lots of sloppy, zesty mess! Beef may be used instead of turkey. Perfect for potluck or game day.

Ingredients

1 pound ground turkey
1 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons white sugar
2 tablespoons white vinegar
2 tablespoons yellow mustard

Directions

1 Place the turkey in a large skillet over medium heat, cook until evenly brown, and drain.
2 In a large saucepan over medium heat, mix the ketchup, sugar, vinegar, and mustard. Mix in the turkey. Cook, stirring often, 30 minutes.
