Turkey Sloppy Joes

I was raised on Manwhich. For 12 year-old me, it was great. So that is how I always though Sloppy Joes were supposed to be made, a bunch of hamburger and this mysterious sauce that came from a can. Fast forward to a few years ago when I begged Laura to let us make some good ol' Manwhich Sloppy Joes. She refused, but said let's try to make our own so we know what is actually going into the sauce. So we started researching recipes and found one that we love. Also at that time, we were on a ground turkey kick, so we used ground turkey for this recipe and it was awesome. Since then, we have tried to make it with beef, but we like it beset with the ground turkey.
