Servings: Serves 4

Ingredients

Extra-virgin olive oil

1 large onion , diced

1 1/2 pounds lean ground turkey

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

2 cups ketchup

1/4 cup yellow mustard

1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper

1 Tbsp. brown sugar

2 Tbsp. tomato paste

1 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar

5 whole wheat hamburger buns

Directions

Set a heavy-based pot over medium-high heat and add a 3-count of olive oil. Add onions and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes until translucent. Add ground turkey, season well with salt and pepper and brown well all over, breaking it up with a wooden spoon—about 7 to 10 minutes. Add ketchup, mustard, cayenne, brown sugar and tomato paste. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 to 12 minutes. Finish with a splash of apple cider vinegar and season it once more before serving on toasted whole wheat hamburger buns.
