PREPARATION

  Finely dice the yellow onion and green bell pepper; mince the garlic clove.

• 2

  Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.

• 3

  Add the diced onion and bell pepper to the skillet, sautéing for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are softened and translucent.

• 4

  Add the ground turkey to the pan, using a wooden spoon or spatula to break the meat into small crumbles as it browns.

• 5

  Once the turkey is no longer pink, stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 60 seconds until fragrant.

  Reduce the heat to medium-low and pour in the tomato puree, apple cider vinegar, yellow mustard, and coconut aminos.

• 7

  Season the mixture with smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper, stirring well to combine all flavors.

• 8

  Allow the mixture to simmer for 5-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened and beautifully coats the turkey.

  While the meat simmers, lightly toast the whole wheat bun in a separate pan or toaster until golden.

  Spoon the warm sloppy joe mixture onto the bottom half of the toasted bun, top with the other half, and serve immediately.
