Method
1
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the ground turkey or chicken, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks until no longer pink, approximately 5–7 minutes.
2
Add the chopped onion, carrot, and green pepper to the skillet and stir well, cooking for 3–4 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
3
Pour in the tomato sauce, crushed whole tomatoes with their juice, and canned mushrooms with liquid, stirring to combine.
4
Stir in the barbecue sauce and season with pepper to taste, mixing until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
5
Reduce heat to low and simmer the mixture for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly and flavors meld together.
6
Toast the wheat buns lightly if desired, then spoon the sloppy joe mixture generously onto each bun and serve immediately.
