Instructions

In a large skillet over medium heat, combine ground turkey, onion, bell pepper, and apple. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the turkey is browned and easily crumbles, about 7 to 9 minutes.
Add ketchup, water, Dijon mustard, cider vinegar, sugar, tarragon, salt, and cloves to the skillet. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes, adding a splash of water if the mixture becomes too thick.
