Ingredients
  • 1 pound (454 grams) ground turkey breast (raw)
  • 1 cup onion, diced
  • 1/2 cup green pepper, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 Tbsp yellow mustard
  • 1/4 cup natural ketchup
  • 1 15 oz can tomato sauce
  • 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 Tbsp BBQ sauce
  • 1-2 packets stevia (optional, if you want to make it on the sweeter side)
Directions

Mist a skillet with oil and brown raw turkey, onions and green pepper over medium heat. (You could skip this step, but you will get a better flavor.)
Place turkey meat, onions & green pepper in the slow cooker. Add all the other ingredients and mix well.
Cover and cook on LOW for 3-4 hours or HIGH for 2-3 hours. If you don't brown the meat first, then cook on LOW for 5-6 hours or HIGH for 3-4 hours.

So honestly, I don't have the "recommended or approved" brands.  So I figure I may have a few added extra calories but only a 1tbsp or two won't hurt the recipe too much.  I will use Whole Wheat Bread instead of a bun (making the whole sloppy joe sandwich 4 pts/serving) and will be making Spicy Spiral Mac-n-Cheese (using 2 tbsp Queso Cheese bringing 1c serving to 8pts) and a serving of frozen peas (0 pts).
