You have got to give these a try!! This was another recipe from Mexican Made Easy, my favorite Food Network show (other than Paula Deen of course). I was a little skeptical at first, ground turkey? Weird? All I can say is that these are my new favorite Sloppy Joes, the best I've ever had. The ground turkey was not weird at all, in fact I loved it. The corn is a must in this recipe, do not leave it out. I promise this is way better than any Sloppy Joe you have ever had, so give them a try. By the way, I was worried that ground turkey was going to be expensive, but I got 1 Lb. for $2.43 which is pretty cheap if you ask me.
