Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Cooked turkey meat (shredded)
- 1 cup Barbecue sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 0.5 cup Onion (finely chopped)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.25 cup Broth or water
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 pieces Burger buns
- 1 cup Coleslaw (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for 3-5 minutes, or until translucent and softened.
Stir in the barbecue sauce, broth or water, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Add the shredded turkey to the skillet and stir to coat the meat evenly with the sauce.
Reduce the heat to low and let the turkey and sauce simmer together for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the turkey is warmed through and the flavors meld.
Toast the burger buns lightly, if desired.
Spoon the barbecue turkey onto the bottom halves of the buns. Optionally, top with coleslaw for extra texture and flavor.
Place the top halves of the buns on the sandwiches and serve immediately.
