Sloppy Joes are a great part of any delicious dinner rotation but are not always the healthiest choice. There are several ways you can make a sloppy joe a delicious healthy all-in-one meal at dinnertime! BROWN THE MEAT Place your ground turkey in a saucepan with no oil or butter. You only need about 1/2 the called for meat because you will be replacing the other half with beans. Brown the meat and drain any excess fat.
