Start by patting the turkey breast dry with paper towels. This helps ensure the spices adhere well.
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a spice rub.
Rub the spice mixture evenly over the turkey breast, ensuring all sides are covered.
Place the seasoned turkey breast in a slow cooker.
Pour the chicken broth and apple cider vinegar around the turkey in the slow cooker. Add the liquid smoke for a touch of smokiness.
Cover and cook on low for 4 hours or until the turkey is cooked through and tender enough to shred with a fork.
Once cooked, remove the turkey from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks.
Discard any excess liquid from the slow cooker and return the shredded turkey to the slow cooker.
Stir in the sugar-free BBQ sauce with the shredded turkey, mixing well to ensure the turkey is evenly coated.
Cover and cook for an additional 30 minutes on low to warm through.
Serve the pulled turkey hot, optionally in lettuce wraps or as desired.
