Juicy pears make these turkey sloppy Joes extra saucy. Soft ripe pears are best for this recipe. Try Red d'Anjou and Bartlett pears. A sprinkle of ground cloves adds a bittersweet dimension, but a little goes a long way.

- 1 small onion

Air Fryer Peri-Peri Fries
While not true peri-peri fries as they're not made with bird's eye chiles, it's what my family has named these. I generally serve them with peri-peri chicken, hence the name. I hope you enjoy them as much as we do.
