How to Make Bbq Sloppy Joe Bake

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a 1.5-quart baking dish and a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray.
  2. In the skillet, cook 2 cups of pepper mix over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, or until softened.
  3. Add 1 lb ground turkey to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned (about 5 minutes).
  4. Drain off any excess grease.
  5. Stir in 1 (15-ounce) can sloppy joe sauce and 1/2 cup BBQ sauce. Simmer for 3 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
  6. Transfer the turkey mixture to the prepared baking dish.
  7. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 box (8.5 ounces) corn muffin mix, 1 large egg, and 1/3 cup water until just combined.
  8. Pour the cornbread batter evenly over the turkey mixture in the baking dish.
  9. Top with the remaining 1 cup of pepper mix.
  10. Bake for 35 minutes, or until the cornbread is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
