Notes

HOW TO MAKE THESE SLOPPY JOES ON THE STOVE TOP:

1. If you are short on time, don’t worry about letting them cook in the slow cooker – you can make them right on your stove top!
2. In a large skillet, add turkey, onion, celery, and green pepper until turkey is no longer pink.
3. Drain the grease, then return meat and vegetable back to pan over medium heat.
4. Add tomato soup, ketchup, mustard, and brown sugar to the skillet and stir together.
5. Cook in skillet over low heat for 15-20 minutes (stirring occasionally) to let the flavors meld together. Serve on buns.

This is a great recipe to double and freeze half for another night. Just let the meat mixture cool down and then place in a gallon-sized freezer bag. To reheat, just warm up in the slow cooker for 2-3 hours on low or in a skillet on the stove top (add liquid as needed).
