Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups cooked turkey (shredded or chopped)
- 1 cup bbq sauce (your favorite variety)
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 pieces sandwich buns or wraps (optional)
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the shredded or chopped leftover turkey to the skillet.
In a small bowl, whisk together the BBQ sauce, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder until well combined.
Pour the BBQ sauce mixture over the turkey in the skillet, stirring to coat all the turkey evenly.
Reduce the heat to low and let the turkey simmer in the sauce for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld and the turkey to rehydrate.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more BBQ sauce or spices to your liking.
Serve the BBQ turkey hot on sandwich buns, in wraps, or as a main dish with sides like coleslaw or roasted vegetables.
