Pulled turkey sandwiches with leftover turkey

 This was simple and a great use for leftover turkey from Thanksgiving.  Everyone really enjoyed it.


Pulled turkey sandwiches with leftover turkey

serves 4-6

Barbecue sauce

1 tablespoon butter (or olive oil would be fine here)

1-2 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup ketchup

1/3 cup brown sugar

1/3 cup Worcestershire sauce

scant 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar

maybe maple syrup

maybe baking soda

a few cups of leftover turkey, shredded, added last


Saute garlic briefly, till fragrant, in butter.  Add remaining ingredients (but not the turkey) and simmer for 10 minutes.  Taste and adjust sweetness as needed with more sugar or maple syrup.  If the vinegar is too strong, then add a pinch or two of baking soda.  Once the sauce is ready, then add in the turkey.  Cook for a few minutes on low till the turkey is warm.  Serve as sandwiches on good bread or rolls with cole slaw and fries or with cornbread.
