CROCK POT PULLED TURKEY
Here's a lower fat variation on the theme of pulled pork, a barbecue favorite from the South. If you like intensely smoky flavour, increase the quantity of the liquid smoke, but be careful--a little goes a long way. Serve this between hot split onion or Kaiser buns, accompanied by a bowl of coleslaw for a "down home" dinner that all will enjoy.

Tips:
- Choose a turkey breast that is no larger than 4 pounds. A larger turkey breast will not cook evenly in the crock pot.
- Season the turkey breast generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. You can also add other seasonings, such as thyme, rosemary, or sage.
- Add some liquid to the crock pot, such as chicken broth or water. This will help to keep the turkey breast moist and prevent it from becoming dry.
- Cook the turkey breast on low for 6-8 hours, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Once the turkey breast is cooked, remove it from the crock pot and let it rest for 10 minutes before shredding it.
- Serve the shredded turkey on sandwiches, tacos, or salads. You can also use it in soups, stews, and casseroles.
Conclusion:
