2 tablespoons organic tomato paste

1 Tablespoon Rice Vinegar*

1 tablespoon Tamari Soy Sauce*

Whole wheat buns or sandwich thins

*if you don't have these ingredients on hand you can replace with Worcestersiresauce-----less healthy option*

 

Cook the onion and bell pepper over medium heat about 2 minutes. Add the turkey, salt, pepper, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, turkey, and honey and cook over medium heat about 10 minutes, or until turkey is completely browned, stir often. --------smells so good!!!!

 

Reduce heat to low and add rice vinegar, Tamari sauce, apple cider vinegar and stir it all together. Now add the tomato sauce and tomato paste and mix until it is all completely mixed together. Cover and heat over low for 5 minutes.
