Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small yellow onion finely diced
½ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 pound ground turkey
1 tablespoon tomato paste
½ cup ketchup
⅓ cup chicken broth low sodium
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon chili powder or more
2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
¼ teaspoon pepper

Instructions

In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat and add the diced onions. Saute for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the salt and minced garlic and saute for another minute.
Add the ground turkey and cook for 4 minutes, making sure to break up the pieces with your spatula or wooden spoon.
Add the tomato paste and mix until mostly combined and then add the ketchup, chicken broth, brown sugar, chili powder, Worcestershire sauce, and pepper. Add more salt here if desired.
Stir until everything is combined and lower the heat from medium to medium low. Let the turkey meat simmer for 5 to 10 minutes or until the sauce has cooked down to your desired sauciness.
Remove from heat and serve over toasted brioche buns, baked potatoes, garlic bread, or whatever your heart desires.
