Jamaican Jerk Turkey Sloppy Joes

I purchased the newest Whole30 cookbook and tested a few recipes. This sloppy joe is flavorful and hits the spot. I’ve adjusted the original recipe a little bit to fit my macros. Find my version below.

Ingredients:

• 1.5 # Lean Ground Turkey 97/3 (6oz serving measured raw)

• 1 Lime

1. In a large skillet, heat the 2 tsp of coconut oil.

2. When hot, add 1 chopped onion and cook for 2 minutes.

3. Add 1.5 pounds of turkey, 1.5 TBS jerk seasoning, 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1 chopped bell pepper (or sub), and jalapeno. Cook until the meat is done and the onions are soft.
