Serves: 4-5
1 lb. lean ground turkey
1 celery rib, chopped
1/4 medium onion, diced
2/3 large red pepper, diced
1/2 cups ketchup
2/3 (8 oz) can no-salt-added tomato sauce
1 Tbs. all-purpose flour
1 Tbs. sugar
1 Tbs. cider vinegar
1 tsp. prepared mustard
Whole wheat hamburger buns, split and toasted
In a large nonstick skillet, cook the turkey, celery, onion, and pepper over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain.
Stir in ketchup, tomato sauce, flour, sugar, vinegar, and mustard. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 10-15 minutes or until heated through. Spoon 2/3 cup turkey mixture onto each bun.

Notes:
- The nutrition facts are for the original recipe (from the magazine), which for the most part triples the amounts I've listed above, with a few exceptions (onions, bell pepper, tomato sauce). I think the nutrition facts include the whole wheat bun, though I'm not sure how--it will vary depending on what brand and size you buy.
- You can make this even healthier by using no-salt-added or reduced-sodium ingredients whenever possible (look for ketchup--I have yet to find a mustard that qualifies, probably because salt is a large part of mustard).
