About two weeks ago, I posted a little video on Instagram of lunch being made. I fixed a Turkey Sloppy Joe that day. It’s such a great midday meal! I found this healthy and hearty Sloppy Joe recipe on the Weight Watchers site. It makes a lot, so I know I have many servings ready! This is great for fixing for a group, or just your family’s weekly lunchtime. Don’t let “Weight Watchers” make you leery! This is simply lower in calories because it’s made with ground turkey. The flavors are incredible!

Bell pepper, chopped

Mixed Grain hamburger bun

I often eat my sandwich open-faced, reducing the calories, but not the deliciousness!
Doesn’t this make you hungry for lunch?!
