Servings: 6 serving
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1/2 medium yellow onion, diced
- 1 medium green bell pepper, diced
- 3 ounce tomato paste
- 15 ounce can of tomato sauce
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 1/4 cup molasses sub with barbecue sauce
- 1 tablespoon mustard
- 1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
- salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- First, before starting you want to prepare and cut up all the ingredients.
- Now, in a pot brown the ground turkey then remove once everything is cooked. Be sure to season the turkey lightly with salt and pepper.
- Next, add in the diced onion and green bell pepper. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Once the onion and green bell have softened add in the tomato paste and cook with the sautéed veggies for about 30 seconds.
- Then, add the cooked ground beef back in and pour in the tomato sauce. Lower the heat to medium to avoid slashing as the sauce heats up.
- Next, add in the brown sugar, ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce and molasses. Cover the pot and cook for 10 minutes on a medium low heat to allow the flavors to come together.
- Lastly, taste for seasoning before serving. Serve with a classic buttered hamburger bun.
