# Instructions:
01 -
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add your chopped onion and bell pepper, cooking until they're soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
02 -
Add minced garlic and ground turkey to the vegetables. Break the turkey apart with a spoon while it cooks, continuing until it's fully browned and cooked through, about 7-8 minutes.
03 -
Stir in all your sauce ingredients: tomato sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Bring everything to a simmer.
04 -
Reduce heat and let the mixture simmer for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally. The sauce should thicken and all the flavors will combine beautifully.
05 -
Toast your hamburger buns if desired, then pile the hot turkey mixture onto the bottom buns. Garnish with fresh parsley if using, top with the other half of the bun, and serve right away.
# Notes:
