The other day, I was watching a movie that involved Sloppy Joes. I’d prefer not to disclose the movie’s title (for fear of embarrassment), but I will tell you that it made me crave a Sloppy Joe. And this is the recipe for turkey sloppy joes that I came up with. I hope you enjoy preparing this as much as I did.
