But now you might feel a little guilty for scoffing this meal and licking clean the plate.
Well, not anymore. Not with this recipe.
The curried take on the original sloppy joe doesn’t taste quite the same as the one my mom used to make for me, but it still tastes amazing.
All those classic flavors such as onions, pepper, and tomato sauce are still present but they are elevated somewhat by curry powder, ginger, garlic, and coconut milk. Yum.
Plus, thanks to those scrumptious sweet potato cups – there’s so much less mess.

These spicy little balls are super scrumptious on their own but are elevated to a phenomenal new level thanks to the super sweet and delicious curry sauce that accompanies them.
It is recommended that they are served on a bed of zucchini noodles, but personally, I think they work much better as an addition to a veggie-packed salad.
Frequently Asked Questions
How Do I Cook Ground Turkey So It Doesn’t Dry?
Try cooking your turkey only until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
It is after this point that it will begin to become crumbly and dry. You can check this with an instant-read thermometer.
What Does Baking Soda Do To Ground Turkey?
Briefly soaking your ground turkey in a water and baking soda solution will raise the meat surfaces’ pH.
This makes it more difficult for the proteins to excessively bond thus keeping your meat more moist and tender.
Should Ground Turkey Be Washed?
No, there’s no real point to washing turkey before cooking as it is nearly impossible to wash off the bacteria found on the bird.
In fact, washing turkey is only likely to spread the bacteria further onto your surfaces via its juices.
What Temperature Kills Bacteria On Ground Turkey?
You want to ensure that your turkey reaches an internal heat of at least 165 degrees Fahrenheit. It is at this point that you will kill any potentially harmful bacteria.
What Can You Add To Ground Turkey To Make It Taste Like Beef?
If you want to make your ground turkey taste more like ground beef, try adding Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, and salt and pepper.

Hi, my name is Justin Roberts and I like to live by one major rule in life – health is wealth. And where does all health stem from? The food choices we make.
I grew up in a not-so-wealthy household that often struggled to get food on the table.
The food we did eat was cheap, holding no nutritional value at all. I’m talking frozen foods, carbs, fats, and very little fresh produce.
I am fortunate enough to have made a life for myself where the money for food is no longer an issue, and I have spent the majority of it looking into healthy foods and different diets to try.
The most notable is keto and paleo. I am also interested in only using whole foods wherever possible – call it trauma!
As a professional chef, I now create recipes surrounding these diets every day. My family are my tasters, and I strive to make my recipes as budget-friendly as possible.
I hope that you’ll find some inspiration for healthier meals from my website. I want to create a catalog of recipes that you can come back to time and time again. Enjoy!
