If you thought turkey was only for Thanksgiving, think again. This recipe for shredded turkey sandwiches transforms boneless turkey breast into a savory sandwich filling for lunches, dinners or tailgate parties. Toss beer, dried onion soup mix, butter and meat into a slow cooker, let it go for a few hours and then shred the meat. You’ll have a sandwich filling that’s almost like a French dip, Italian beef or pulled chicken but with its own delicious flavor profile. Serve shredded turkey with sturdy rolls so they don’t disintegrate under the juices—and you’ll want those juices!
Ingredients for Shredded Turkey Sandwiches
- Turkey breast: Look for boneless, skinless turkey breast portions in the meat department. See below for options to use cooked turkey instead!
- Beer: Either regular or nonalcoholic beer works as a braising liquid in the slow cooker. When cooking with beer, lagers and ales are good choices. Anything too hoppy could render the sauce too bitter.
- Onion soup mix: Make your own onion soup mix or opt for a reliable store-bought brand.
- Butter: Added to the slow cooker with the other ingredients, butter adds richness and flavor to the sauce for these shredded turkey sandwiches.
- French rolls: These small rolls have a delectably chewy crust. Other types that work with this recipe are slider buns, pretzel buns or kaiser rolls.
