Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds bone-in turkey breast
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth (Whole30 compliant)
- 1 tablespoon coconut aminos
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon mustard powder
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
In a large Dutch oven or heavy pot, heat olive oil over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the chicken broth, coconut aminos, apple cider vinegar, tomato paste, smoked paprika, mustard powder, sea salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
Place the turkey breast into the pot, ensuring the mixture covers the turkey.
Cover the Dutch oven and transfer it to the preheated oven. Cook for approximately 4 hours, or until the turkey is tender and easily pulled apart with a fork.
Remove the turkey from the oven and let it cool slightly.
Transfer the turkey to a cutting board and carefully remove the skin and bones. Shred the meat using two forks.
Return the shredded turkey to the pot, mixing it well with the sauce.
Serve the pulled turkey warm as a main dish with your choice of Whole30-compliant sides like cauliflower rice, sweet potato mash, or roasted vegetables.
