Sweet and Spicy Turkey Sloppy Joes

These Sloppy Joes are tasty, easy to prepare, and healthier with turkey instead of beef. I love the different spices in this recipe; they definitely left my husband wondering what spices I added to make such a delicious flavor!

Sweet and Spicy Turkey Sloppy Joes
Ingredients:

·1 lb ground turkey

·6-8 pickled jalapeno slices, chopped

·½ tsp allspice
·¼ tsp fresh ground pepper
·¾ cup ketchup

Stir together and cook for 1-2 minutes. Add ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and brown sugar. Stir over medium heat until sauce is heated through, about 2-4 minutes.
