Extra-lean ground turkey is a healthy swap for the usual ground beef in this zesty, quick-cooking sandwich. Opt for a tangy barbecue sauce for extra flavor. The dash of cayenne pepper adds just the right dose of spiciness to the mix. Add more to suit your heat tolerance. Make a double batch of the ground meat mixture. It is delicious as a stuffing for roasted red bell peppers, wonderful folded into an omelet or frittata, and a nice addition to tomato sauce for a bolognese-style sauce to top spiralized veggie noodles or a thin-crust pizza. The meat mixture freezes well too.
