Ingredients
2 tsp olive oil
1 small onion(s)

1 medium bell pepper(s)
1 pound(s) lean ground turkey
1 tbsp chili powder
2 tsp dried basil
1/2 tsp table salt

Instructions
- Heat oil in a large nonstick saucepan over medium-high heat.
- Add onion, celery and bell pepper and sauté until tender, 3 minutes. Add turkey and sauté until browned, breaking up the meat as it cooks, 5 minutes. Add chili powder, basil, salt, black pepper and cayenne; stir to coat. Add crushed tomatoes, ketchup and mustard; mix well.
- Bring mixture to a boil, reduce heat, partially cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, 30 minutes.
- Stir in corn and simmer 2 minutes to heat through. Spoon mixture onto rolls and serve hot.
- We renovated Sloppy Joes by:
- Substituting olive oil for butter — and using less.
- Using lean ground turkey instead of beef.
- Adding vegetables to boost the nutritional value of the meal.
- Choosing mixed-grain hamburger rolls instead of regular to get more fiber.
- Substituting olive oil for butter — and using less.
