Gluten Free Super Bowl Sloppy Joes

1 red pepper, finely chopped
1 green pepper, finely chopped
1/2 yellow onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons vegetable oil (I used avocado oil)
6 cups tomato puree
1/2 cup cider vinegar
3/4 cup turbinado sugar
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon pepper
2 1/2 pounds ground beef
1 1/2 pounds ground turkey
1 cup water


In a medium sized pot, cook the diced peppers and onion in the avocado oil over high heat, stirring constantly, until the vegetables have cooked down to a slightly chunky sauce, about 10 minutes. Turn down to medium and add the tomato puree, cider vinegar, sugar, mustard, salt, and pepper. Continue stirring over medium heat. Adjust temperature to low when mixture begins to bubble and cook for approximately 7 minutes until heated thoroughly. Brown the ground beef and turkey in a large skillet. Pour sauce and browned meat into a crockpot and set to low. Add 1 cup water and stir to mix. Continue warming on low 2 - 4 hours. Add water as needed to keep the mixture to a sloppy joe consistency. Serve on gluten free buns.
