These barbecue pulled turkey sandwiches offer a delicious way to reinvent leftovers into a satisfying, high-protein meal. By simmering shredded turkey in a tangy, homemade sauce of tomato puree, dark brown sugar and smoked bacon, the meat stays succulent and absorbs deep, savoury flavours. The addition of a quick, vinegar-based cabbage slaw provides a refreshing crunch that perfectly balances the richness of the barbecue glaze.
Ideal for a quick weeknight dinner or a weekend lunch, this recipe is incredibly versatile. You can use a mix of light and dark meat for the best texture, served inside your favourite soft rolls. Whether you are using up a Sunday roast or looking for a lean alternative to pulled pork, these sandwiches are a healthy, homemade classic that the whole family will enjoy.
