Ingredients

• 1 tbsp. vegetable oil
• 1 large onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
• 1 1/2 lb. ground turkey

• 2 tsp. packed light brown sugar
• 1-8 oz. can tomato sauce
• 1/2 cup ketchup
• 1/2 tsp. Tabasco

Directions

1. Warm oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and saute until softened, about 3 minutes. Turn heat up to med-hi, stir in turkey, salt and chili powder and cook, stirring to break up meat, until turkey loses its pink color, about 5 minutes.

3. Serve on buns with pickles or pickle relish, if desired.
