Everyday Food editor Sarah Carey revises the classic sloppy joe recipe so that it’s much healthier -- but every bit as delicious.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Toss kale with 1 tablespoon oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake on two rimmed baking sheets until crisp, 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat remaining tablespoon oil over medium-high. Add onion and sweet potato and cook until softened, 8 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 30 seconds; season with salt and pepper. Add turkey and cook, breaking up meat with a wooden spoon, until browned, 6 minutes. Add tomatoes, ketchup, and Worcestershire and cook until sauce is reduced by half, 5 minutes. Serve on buns alongside kale chips.

Homemade kale chips are a great way to slip a new vegetable into your family's weekly routine.
We love this recipe. We substituted low-fat ground turkey breast and still find that they have excellent flavor. We've actually taken to calling them "sloppy janes" because they are lighter! We served them over a baked potato (almost like chili) instead of on a bun for variety - very good!
This is a fantastic recipe!!! So flavorful that I made it twice in one week. PLUS love, love love the kale chips. I added a sprinkle of red pepper flakes with salt and pepper – delish!
Sarah,
My family rates the new recipes I try and my husband said to put the Sloppy Joes on the list. The kale chips weren't as successful because I tried to hold them in the oven and they got over done quickly.
I really love watching your videos and have been trying your dinners. I like the low fat low carbohydrate recipes. You are amazing!! Thank You!!
