Ingredients Tap to check off
Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 425 F (220 C) and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
While the oven heats, scrub the potatoes and cut them into 1/4-inch-thick fries on the cutting board.
3
Toss the fries on the baking sheet with olive oil, half the paprika, and a third of the salt, then spread in one layer.
4
Roast the fries for 12 minutes until the undersides turn golden and release easily from the parchment.
5
While the fries roast, finely dice the onion, then seed and finely dice the red bell pepper.
6
Set a 10-inch skillet over medium heat with olive oil.
7
While the skillet heats for 2 minutes, stir tomato sauce, ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire, and brown sugar together in a small bowl.
8
Add the onion and bell pepper to the shimmering oil and cook 4 minutes, stirring, until soft and the onion turns translucent.
9
While the vegetables soften, whisk apple cider vinegar, olive oil, and a third of the salt in the serving bowl, then toss in the slaw mix.
10
Add the turkey with the remaining paprika, salt, and black pepper, breaking it up for 5 to 6 minutes until no pink remains.
11
Flip the fries with a spatula and roast 10 to 12 minutes more until crisp, deep golden, and puffed at the edges.
12
Pour the sauce over the turkey, lower the heat, and simmer 6 to 7 minutes until thick, glossy, and clinging to the spoon.
13
Split the buns and set them cut-side up on the oven rack for the last 2 minutes until lightly toasted.
14
Stir the remaining vinegar into the filling off the heat, then pile it onto the toasted buns and serve with fries and slaw.
