Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds Turkey breast (boneless, skinless)
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 1 medium Yellow onion (finely chopped)
- 3 Garlic cloves (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Butter (unsalted, melted)
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 6 Hamburger buns or sandwich rolls
- Optional toppings (lettuce, tomato slices, mayonnaise, cheese, etc.)
Instructions
Place the turkey breast in the bottom of a crock pot.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine chicken broth, chopped onion, minced garlic, melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, dried thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Pour the mixture evenly over the turkey breast.
Cover the crock pot with its lid and set it to cook on low for 6-7 hours or until the turkey is fully cooked and tender. The internal temperature of the turkey should reach 165°F (74°C).
Once cooked, carefully remove the turkey breast from the crock pot and place it on a cutting board. Use two forks to shred the turkey into bite-sized pieces.
Return the shredded turkey to the crock pot and stir to coat it in the juices. Keep warm until ready to serve.
Toast sandwich rolls or hamburger buns if desired. Assemble sandwiches by adding the shredded turkey and optional toppings such as lettuce, tomato, mayonnaise, or cheese.
Serve warm and enjoy!
