Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Turkey breast (boneless, skinless)
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 1 large Yellow onion (sliced)
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 cup Barbecue sauce
- 8 pieces Burger buns
- 1 variety Optional toppings (coleslaw, pickles, sliced red onion)
Instructions
Place the turkey breast in the slow cooker and pour the chicken broth over it.
Add the sliced onion and minced garlic to the slow cooker, spreading them evenly around the turkey.
Sprinkle the turkey with paprika, smoked paprika, ground black pepper, and salt.
Cover the slow cooker with the lid and set it to cook on LOW for 6-7 hours, or on HIGH for 3-4 hours, until the turkey is tender and easily shredded with a fork.
Once cooked, use two forks to shred the turkey directly in the slow cooker, mixing it with the juices and onions.
Stir in the barbecue sauce, making sure the turkey is well-coated. Let it cook on LOW for an additional 15-20 minutes to heat through.
Toast the burger buns lightly if desired and spoon the pulled turkey mixture onto the bottom half of each bun.
Top with your favorite toppings like coleslaw, pickles, or sliced red onions, then place the top bun on each sandwich.
Serve warm and enjoy your slow-cooked turkey sandwiches!
