A delightful twist on the classic Sloppy Joes, featuring ground turkey and a flavorful sauce.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the ground turkey.
Break the turkey into small pieces as it cooks for even browning.
Add the chopped onion to the skillet and cook until softened.
Stir frequently to prevent the onions from burning.
Transfer the cooked turkey and onions to a slow cooker.
Ensure the slow cooker is preheated for even cooking.
Mix the tomato sauce, tomato paste, brown sugar, red wine, cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and liquid smoke in a bowl.
Taste the sauce and adjust the sweetness or tanginess to your preference.
Pour the sauce over the turkey and onions in the slow cooker.
Stir gently to coat the turkey evenly with the sauce.
Sprinkle the seasoning salt and black pepper over the mixture.
Add more or less seasoning to suit your taste.
Cover and cook on low for 6 to 7 hours.
Stir occasionally if possible to ensure even cooking.
Serve the turkey mixture on toasted buns or bread slices.
For a gourmet touch, garnish with fresh herbs or a slice of cheese.
