1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground turkey and cook until no longer pink. Transfer to a bowl.

3. Add a thin layer of olive oil to a separate skillet and turn heat to medium-high. Once the oil is hot, cook the bread (in batches, adding more oil as needed) until golden brown on both sides.
4. Transfer bread to serving plates and spoon sloppy joe mixture over. Top with pickles and serve.
