When I told my husband that I was making Turkey Sloppy Joe - he wrinkled his nose and said EWW..... Until he tasted this recipe. He took a little taste from the tip of the spoon and was completely sold. He said he couldn't wait until dinner to have it. I was very pleased. I will make this again and suggest this to my friends that want a lighter and healthier sloppy joe.

I made this recipe out of TOH's Potlucks book and was not impressed. It was very watery. My mom actually thought I had made soup! Pretty bland tasting and dry.

Instead of this recipe, I'd make the "Sloppy Joe Slow Cooker Recipe," also from TOH's website. It was much richer and tastier. I can see the "Easy" sloppy joe recipe here is healthy, but it doesn't taste good and I don't plan to make it again.

Taste was OK. Didn't care for the texture.

I haven't made these because I was disappointed that for a healthy recipe it used a prepackaged mix that is so high in sodium.

I thought these were average. They weren't bad, but I didn't think they were great either.

My family loves this recipe. It's so easy to make and it's filling, too. Great after a busy day.
