Five Point Sloppy Joes

A super Melanie find!

Ingredients:
1 Tbsp. Oil
1 onion, chopped small (I usually use only 1/2 of a large onion)
1 green pepper, chopped small
2 garlic cloves, minced (or a few sprinkles of garlic powder- so i don't have to buy garlic!)
1/2 tsp cumin (heaping)
1 tsp chili powder (heaping)
1 lb. ground turkey
1 cup ketchup
2 Tbsp. brown sugar (packed)
2 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp. salt
hamburger buns

Directions:
1. In a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil. Saute the onions, peppers, and garlic until softened, about 5 minutes.
2. Stir in the cumin and chili powder; when the veggies are coated with the spices, stir in the turkey.
3. Cook, breaking apart the meat with a wooden spoon, 3 minutes.
4. Add the ketchup, brown sugar, worcestershire sauce, and salt.
5. Let the sauce bubble. Cook for approx. 4 to 5 more minutes, until the sauce has thickened slightly and the turkey is cooked through.

*suppose to be 6 servings. Each serving is 5 points.
