BBQ Pulled Turkey from Leftover Turkey Using a Crockpot®

This is another easy recipe for leftover turkey legs and bread after a Thanksgiving dinner. This recipe is an easy way to have sandwiches the day after Thanksgiving with BBQ pulled turkey.

Ingredients:
Turkey legs*
1 cup BBQ sauce (homemade or store-bought)
1/2 onion, sliced
2 garlic cloves, chopped
Other seasonings, such as fresh thyme, mustard, and chili flakes

Directions:
Discard the skin and bones from the turkey legs (about 5 cups of meat should remain).
On the bottom of a Crockpot, add the onions and garlic.
Place turkey meat on top of the onion and garlic. Pour the BBQ sauce over the turkey meat.

Close the lid and cook for 3 hours. Use a fork to shred the meat slight. Season the turkey to meat with salt and pepper. Add some lemon juice, mustard, etc. to enhance the flavor.
The turkey is now already baked. It only takes a short time to cook. Enjoy.







*Since we are on the subject of leftover turkey, the turkey bones can make a wonderful broth. Use this broth to make Pho (follow the recipe posted on 04/20/2017 or Crockpot Pho posted on 10/31/2015).
