Not only does it taste great, it can be on your dinner table in about 30 minutes or less. Love that! The original recipe called for ground turkey, but I used “fake chicken” to accommodate for my vegetarian Darryl.
Hope you enjoy this fun, fast twist on the sloppy joe!

BTW regular worcestershire sauce is not vegetarian! Otherwise this looks yummy!!! It’s going on my menu with vegetarian worcestershire sauce!

We do vegetarian sloppy joes here, too. Of course, I make vegetarian options to a LOT of things because I have a child who has necrophobia and carnophobia. No meat for her! 😛 I’m going to try your version.
