Sloppy Jessica (Copycat Recipe)

This Sloppy Jessica recipe is a delightful twist on the classic sloppy joe, featuring a rich and savory blend of ground turkey, tangy barbecue sauce, and a hint of smoky chipotle. Served on a toasted brioche bun, it offers a perfect balance of flavors and textures, making it an appealing choice for any casual meal. This dish meets dietary requirements by being both hearty and satisfying without being overly heavy.
