Making Weight Watchers sloppy Joes is a no brainer for me. I like to create healthy recipes that I can enjoy but also serve up to my family, friends, or guests. Here are some easy side dishes for sloppy joes to help you with your meal planning.
This recipe does it all and it’s quick and easy to make. No stress, a happy family, it’s a win in my book!
How are these a Healthy Sloppy Joe recipe?
One of the main ways that I cut down on points, calories, and fat is by using ground turkey! With all the seasonings and sauce on top you won’t notice a big difference in taste and the texture is nearly identical!
Another way I tweaked the traditional Sloppy Joes recipe for this Weight Watchers version is by making the sauce from scratch.
We’re not dumping in a can of something processed here. The flavors are all the same but they’re coming from their actual ingredients and not a chemical alternative in a can.
Do I have to make this recipe in the Instant Pot?
The instructions below are for the Instant Pot or another style programmable pressure cooker. I like making these Weight Watchers Sloppy Joes in the Instant Pot because it is so quick, easy, and carefree.
I don’t have to stand over them and monitor the whole time! That being said, I know some people won’t cook with an Instant Pot so you could do this on the stove it will just take much longer for the ingredients to come together and they’ll need time to simmer and infuse all the flavors together.
I’d sauté the turkey burger with olive oil, garlic, onion and cook until the garlic and onion are tender and the turkey burger is done. Then I’d add in all the other ingredients stir until it’s all well combined and simmer for 25-30 minutes over low heat so that everything can cook together.
I’ve never tried this particular recipe this way so I can’t say for certain how long it’ll take. Of course you are welcome to serve it up at any point once everything is cooked and combined I just think the flavors need a little time to develop!!
How do I make these healthy Sloppy Joes in the Instant Pot?
Set your Instant Pot to the sauté function.
Add the olive oil, garlic and onion.
Cook until the garlic and onion are fragrant and translucent.
Add the turkey and cook until no longer pink.
Add the water.
Add the tomato sauce, ketchup, chili sauce and tomato paste in a small bowl.
Add the Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar and Dijon mustard to the small bowl.
Add all the ingredients from the small bowl into the Instant Pot and mix everything together.
Close and lock the lid on the Instant Pot and make sure the vent is closed.
Set Instant Pot to 8 minutes.
Once 8 minutes is up, allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes.
Open the vent and release the remaining pressure.
Serve on a bun with your favorite sides and enjoy!
