Southwestern Turkey Sloppy Joes

This sloppy joe sandwich has a little bit of everything, with bursts of flavor in each bite!

Southwestern Turkey Sloppy Joes

I’m pretty sure I could have guacamole every day and never get sick of it. So I was very happy to slop it on this sandwich (no pun intended). I’m also a huge fan of ground turkey (it’s lighter and healthier!), spice (I’m building up a tolerance for heat!) and black beans (so delicious in Mexican food). The red onion topper gives the sandwich the crunch it needs and the pepper jack cheese is just… wonderful (isn’t all cheese?).

For the canned tomatoes and black beans… the recipe says 14 ounces, but eyeball it. If the cans happen to be 15 ounces, that’s okay. It’s a Sloppy Joe.

Also, if you have a lot of mouths to feed or like leftovers, you’ll love this recipe. I was left with a large Tupperware full of the Sloppy Joe mixture. The guac, however, was polished off. :)
