This hamburger knock-off originated in the United States in the 1920s. It's typically made with ground beef or pork but we lightened it up with lean ground turkey. These WW-friendly sandwiches are packed with flavor and easy to make. Some say you can’t have a sloppy joe without raw onions on top. They bring bite and freshness to balance out the richness of the sandwich but if they're too strong for you taste, swap in chopped scallion greens instead. If you're not interested in the buns, wrap the filling in large lettuce leaves or spoon over cauliflower rice.
