Sloppy joes get a double glow-up here: lean ground turkey stands in for beef, and thick roasted sweet potato rounds take the place of the usual soft bun. The filling still gets that familiar tangy-sweet tomato sauce, simmered down with peppers and onion.

This is a fun one for kids who grew up on the classic sandwich version, since the flavor is nearly identical, and it fits naturally into a weight-loss-friendly rotation since the sweet potato buns bring fiber and nutrients that a refined bun simply doesn't.

Roast the sweet potato rounds until they're tender enough to bite through cleanly but still hold their shape under the filling.
