Ingredients

2 teaspoons olive oil
1 pound ground chicken
1/2 cup chopped onion any color
2 cloves garlic minced
16 ounces 2 cups tomato sauce
1/4 cup ketchup
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon light or dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard or yellow mustard
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon paprika
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 hamburger buns toasted if desired

Instructions

Heat the oil in a large skillet or saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until no longer pink, breaking up the meat as it cooks.
Add the onion and garlic and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, until the vegetables soften.
Add the tomato sauce, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, mustard, basil, and paprika and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes, until the sauce thickens. Note, if the mixture thickens more than desired, add a little water. Season to taste with salt and black pepper.
Ladle the mixture onto buns and serve.
