Ingredients

    olive oil, 2 tbsp
    ground turkey, 1.2 lbs raw (yield 1 lb cooked)
    onion, 1/4 medium chopped
    garlic, 1 1/2 tsp minced
    white distilled vinegar, 2 tbsp
    Worcestershire sauce, 2 tbsp
    brown sugar, 2 tbsp
    tomato sauce, 1 c
    grill seasoning, 1 tbsp
    pepper

Directions

1. Heat pan with olive oil on medium-high heat; cook ground turkey 4-5 minutes.
2. Add onion and garlic to pan and cook additional 3-4 minutes.
3. In a small bowl, mix remaining ingredients together and stir into pan with meat. Bring to a simmer and continue cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes or until mixture is thickened.

Makes 4 aprox. 1 cup servings.

Note: I used a mixture of basil, oregano, parsley, thyme, rosemary, cumin, marjoram, coriander, onion powder, garlic powder, and coriander in place of grill seasoning. I was adjusting as I went, so I don't know exact measures of each and I doubt that all of these are necessary. However I strongly recommend including coriander, whatever else you do or don't use. Coriander was the secret ingredient to really make this taste just right.

I recommend serving on larger buns, or serving open-faced if you use smaller buns. Nutritional information does not include bun.A
