Sweet and Spicy Turkey Sloppy Joes Recipe

Who's says you need buns for sloppy joes?  Of course, it's not so sloppy on a potato. Still, they are sloppy joes. 

My family ate theirs on buns.  Plain old white hamburger buns.  Mine? On a delicious, hot sweet potato.  Gluten free but not so sloppy.  Mine tasted better too! 

I know, I've been putting a lot of food on top of a sweet potatoes.  Get used to it. It's good.
