Philly Cheese Turkey Sloppy Joes

Here is a healthy twist [benefits of using ground turkey] on the Philadelphia Cheesesteak – adapted from Dainty Chef

Ingredients:

• 1 lb ground turkey
• 1 large white onion, diced
• 1 green bell pepper, diced
• 1/4 cup steak sauce
• 1 can fat free reduced sodium beef broth (approx. 2 cups)
• Salt & black pepper to taste
• 8 sandwich thins
• 8 slices reduced fat provolone cheese

Directions:

In large skillet, brown the ground turkey. Add the onion and green pepper and cook another 3-4 minutes, until the vegetables start to get tender.

Stir in the steak sauce and beef broth, season with salt and pepper, bring up to a bubble and cook about 2 minutes (Most of the liquid will have evaporated)

On a baking sheet, lay out buns – separating the tops from the bottoms. On the bottom half, spoon approx. 1/2 cup of the meat mixture and then top with 1 slice of cheese

Broil open faced sandwiches (this will just toast the top) until cheese is good and melty! Remove from oven, assemble, enjoy!

Really delicious! Mine never absorbed the liquid, had to drain off…any ideas what I did wrong. They were still really good.

Does the nutrition info include the sandwich thin or is that separate? Thanks! Can’t wait to make this tonight.

I calculated this with the Weight Watchers app and it’s actually seven points with the nutritional information that you provided. Also when I made this it took more like 20 minutes to get the sauce to thicken up not 2 minutes. But it was delicious!
