Notes

Make it Vegetarian

  • Swap the turkey for your favourite beans, lentils, or quinoa for an easy vegetarian meal.

Give me Carbohydrates!

  • If you prefer carbohydrates with your dinner – try placing your sloppy joe mixture on top of brown rice, quinoa, ezekial bread, or a whole-grain bun.

Say Cheese

  • If you can’t handle your sloppy joes without the gooey cheese, feel free to top it with a sprinkle of shredded cheese.
