1
Preheat & Prep

Preheat skillet to Medium-High then Medium Simmer. Place ground turkey sloppy joe filling (1 lb lean ground turkey (93/7) simmered in tangy tomato glaze) in a single layer with space between items for convection airflow. Spray lightly with high-smoke-point oil.

2
Cook & Shake / Flip

Cook for 12–15 mins. Flip or shake basket at the 5-minute mark for even browning.

3
Doneness & Rest

Sauce reduced to glossy thick consistency coating back of spoon. Confirm internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Rest for 2 minutes before carving.
