I know it is still "turkey" but I make barbecue and it feels a bit different. I stopped eating red meat about 5 years ago and adapted the recipe to using ground turkey (usually ground turkey breast) instead.
I just brown the turkey, sometime adding onion or garlic powder as it browns. After its brown, I throw in some ketchup, a little bit of water, mustard - usually a dijon or honey, but plain yellow works too, a capful of some type of vinegar - I usually use wine or right now I have a rice vinegar, and about 1 or 2 tablespoons of sugar. Sorry that I don't have exact amounts. Probably for a lb. of meat I use around 1/2 to 3/4 cup of ketchup, 1/4 cup water, a nice long squirt of mustard. Basically I do it to taste, It creates a nice sauce, and you can figure out what you like. What's nice is - if you add to much of one thing, just use a bit more of the others to fix it.
Right before I start it, I either put up some type of pasta -I like shells or rigatoni, or rice, and put the barbecue over it.
Its savory and one of the few things my stomach actually tolerates.
I am close to a Trader Joe's and have found their ketchup that has no hfcs.
