Preparation
Step 1
Place olive oil in a dutch oven or a large pot and place over medium heat. Add in olive oil, turkey, onion, peppers and garlic. Stir frequently; breaking up the turkey meat as you go. Cook until turkey is no longer pink and onions are somewhat translucent.
Step 2
Next, add in chili powder, cumin, onion powder and cayenne; stir for 30 seconds to allow spices to cook a bit. Then stir in tomato sauce, ketchup, mustard, soy sauce. Cover and simmer over low heat for 20 minutes.
Step 3
While the sloppy joes are simmering you can preheat your waffle iron.
Step 4
In a small bowl, whisk together flour, cornmeal, baking powder and salt. In a separate medium bowl, mix together egg, maple syrup, olive oil, applesauce and almond milk until well combined. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
Step 5
Spray waffle iron with nonstick cooking spray. Add about 1/2 of batter to waffle iron and cook according to manufacturer's directions. Once waffle is cooked, place in 200 degree F oven to keep warm or you can just toast them up later if they get cold!). Repeat with remaining batter. Makes 2 large Belgian waffles.
Step 6
To serve, place two waffles on plate and top with 1/4th of the sloppy joe meat. Garnish with cheese, if desired. Serves 4.
