    Sloppy Joe Turkey Skillet

    I love me some Sloppy Joes. I don't care if its in a bun or in a casserole. There is something about the flavor that is addictive. And this Sloppy Joe Turkey Skillet recipe does not disappoint! I think most of my foodie fans would agree because my Sloppy Joe Casserole is one of the most popular recipes on this blog! Wanna know something, I think this dish is better. But I will let you be the judge of that. If a sandwich is more your style, take a moment and check out my Slow Cooker Sloppy Joe Sandwich recipe.

    Now we all know there are probably a thousand ways to make sloppy joes. But how often do you come across a Sloppy Joe Turkey Skillet? And I'm not quite sure why this particular recipe is everyone's favorite but you need to try it! I especially like that this recipe uses turkey instead of beef. We have to try and eat as healthy as we can, right?

    Seriously, if there is one recipe you try on this site, I would recommend trying this one. My spouse says not only is this recipe a keeper but that I need to put it into our rotation os recipes we have on a regular basis. Yes, it's that good. Now while I served it with rice, you can easily substitute for polenta or mashed potatoes or whatever tickles your fancy!
