It’s been about six months and one week since I last posted here, which I know is TOO LONG. You probably thought I forgot about you.
No way did I forget! I just got confused about my priorities. The Saucy Dipper is back, and I have so many things up my sleeve I can hardly stand it. This blog is about to take on a whole new shape and align with my marketing business, but that’s all I can tell you for now. Stay tuned for the big announcement. It’s coming soon. Promise.
In the meantime, let’s sink our teeth into some Sloppy Joe goodness. It may not be a sauce in the strictest sense, but this recipe is definitely worth a try. I highly recommend you do.

Serves: 6
Ingredients
- 1.25 lb of ground turkey (seasoned with salt and pepper)
- 1 red pepper, chopped fine
- 1 yellow onion, chopped fine
- 1 tomato, de-seeded and chopped (big chunks ok)
- 8 oz. can of tomato sauce

- 6 hamburger buns (I chose multi-grain)
Instructions

Notes
If you would rather use hamburger meat, cook up the meat on the stove and drain fat before putting in the slow cooker.
This Sloppy Joe recipe is delicious and so fresh tasting. I did not have tomato paste on hand so I substituted with 2 tbsp. of ketchup and it was perfect. My 15 year old came back for seconds! thanks for this healthy alternative to an old favorite.
All right! So glad it worked out for you, Laura. Nice to know that ketchup is a good replacement, too.
