Lighter Sloppy Joes

There are some foods you think you can't have when you're eating healthy. Burgers, pizza, anything fried or whatever. This is not happening for me I can tell you that much. If I deprive myself, 99% of the time I'll end up cheating and bingeing on crazy unhealthy foods. So, I try to make awesome favourites into healthy options. Take the sloppy joe! Not usually associated with healthy foods, but hey, we all deserve a second chance. So here I present, the lighter sloppy joe, with a nice Southern twist!

1 Tbsp Canola Oil
1 Onion, Chopped
1 Garlic Clove, Minced
1 Tsp Chili Powder
½ Tsp Oregano
¾ lb Ground Turkey (Lean)
1 (7oz) Can of Mexican-style Corn
1 ½ Cups Mild Salsa
1 Tbsp Brown Sugar
4 Hamburger Rolls (Low-Cal Whole Wheat Preferrably)
Dash of Hot Sauce

Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Swirl in the oil, and then add the onion and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally until softened, about 4 minutes. Add the chili powder and oregano and cook for 1 more minute. Add the ground turkey and corn; cook until mixture is nearly dry, about 4 minutes. Stir in the salsa and sugar and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened and the turkey is cooked through, 4-5 minutes longer.

Spoon over opened rolls and serve!
