1 green bell pepper, coarsely chopped
1 tsp. leaf oregano, crumbled

1/2 cup bottled Mrs. Griffin’s regular BBQ Sauce
1/4 cup chopped over stuffed green olives (optional)
4 hard rolls, split (or hamburger buns)
Heat medium size nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add turkey; cook, breaking meat with spoon until no longer pink. About 6 minutes. Place in colander to drain. Wipe skillet clean with paper towel.
Heat oil in skillet over medium heat. Add onion, bell pepper, oregano, cumin and chili powder. Cook covered, 6 minutes or until softened, stirring occasionally. Add turkey, tomato sauce, barbecue sauce and olives. Bring to simmer, cook 5 minutes. Can be made two days ahead and refrigerated or frozen for up to one month.
