Time 7h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1 onion, sliced
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 cup barbecue sauce
1 1 1/2- to 2-pound skinless, boneless turkey breast
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, plus more if needed
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar, plus more if needed
12 ounces shredded coleslaw mix
Cornbread and pickles, for serving

Steps:

Combine the onion, garlic, barbecue sauce and 1/2 cup water in a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker; stir well. Season the turkey breast generously with salt and pepper. Combine the paprika and garlic powder in a small bowl; rub all over the turkey. Place the turkey on top of the onion mixture in the slow cooker. Cover and cook on low until the turkey is cooked through and tender, 7 to 8 hours.
In the last 30 minutes of cooking, whisk the mayonnaise, vinegar and sugar in a small bowl. Pour over the coleslaw mix in a large bowl and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper.
Remove the lid from the slow cooker and use two forks to pull the turkey into pieces. Increase the slow cooker to high and let sit, uncovered, until the sauce thickens, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper; add vinegar and sugar to taste.
Divide the turkey and coleslaw among plates. Serve with cornbread and pickles.

TURKEY CUBANO

Turkey Cubano image

Two heated baking pans topped by a cast-iron skillet stand in for a sandwich press in this easy Cubano recipe. It also substitutes sliced turkey for the usual roast pork, but retains the melted cheese, sliced ham and slivers of pickle that makes the traditional sandwich so incredibly compelling. Deli ham is the go-to choice here, but prosciutto gives a deeper, saltier flavor; use whichever you like.

Time 15m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

4 tablespoons mayonnaise
Hot sauce or mustard, to taste
2 (12-inch) soft hero rolls or semolina loaves, split in half horizontally
3 to 4 ounces cooked turkey breast, thinly sliced
8 slices deli ham or prosciutto
8 slices Swiss cheese
1/3 cup sliced pepperoncini peppers or other pickled hot peppers (optional)
1 large dill pickle, sliced
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Steps:

Place a rack in the center of the oven and another rack directly below it. Place a rimmed baking sheet on each rack. Once the pans are inside, heat oven to 350 degrees.
In a small bowl, add the mayonnaise and stir in hot sauce or mustard to taste - it should have a kick. Spread mayonnaise mixture inside the rolls, coating both the top and bottom halves. Layer rolls with turkey, ham, cheese, pepperoncini (if using) and pickle slices.
Using your hands, press the sandwiches down and make sure nothing slides out. (If it does, poke it back in.) Then, use a brush to butter the top and bottom halves of the rolls.
Remove a hot baking sheet from the oven and place the sandwiches on top. Layer the other hot baking sheet on top of the sandwiches. Place a small pot cast-iron skillet or other heavy heatproof item on top of that second hot baking sheet to create a press.
Carefully return to oven and bake until sandwiches are warm, toasted and golden brown and the cheese is melted, 8 to 13 minutes. (You'll have to lift off the second pan to check on the sandwiches.) Cut sandwiches in half and serve immediately.

Tips:

Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your sandwiches. Look for ripe tomatoes, crisp lettuce, and juicy turkey.
Don't overcook the turkey: Overcooked turkey is dry and tough. Cook it just until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Make your own barbecue sauce: Homemade barbecue sauce is easy to make and tastes much better than store-bought. You can find a variety of recipes online or in cookbooks.
Toast the buns: Toasted buns are sturdier and hold up better to the barbecue sauce and other toppings.
Load up the sandwiches: Don't be shy with the toppings. Pile on the turkey, barbecue sauce, coleslaw, pickles, and anything else you like.

Conclusion:

Turkey barbecue sandwiches are a delicious and easy meal that's perfect for any occasion. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a sandwich that's sure to please everyone. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give turkey barbecue sandwiches a try.
