Pulled Turkey Sandwich/Wrap

My family loves pulled pork BBQ sandwiches, so when I saw a recipe for pulled turkey sandwiches using turkey thighs I just had to try it.  This simple crock pot dish topped with spicy lime coleslaw was a simple and delectable weeknight meal.

Ingredients:

4 turkey thighs

1 small red onion diced

1 tablespoon chili powder

1 teaspoon ground cumin

½ cup reduced sodium/sugar ketchup

¼ cup light brown sugar

2 tablespoons yellow mustard

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Buns, wraps, sliced cheese, favorite BBQ sauce

Coleslaw-

1 16 ounce bag shredded cabbage/coleslaw mix

1/3 cup fresh lime juice

Zest from 1 lime

½ teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon garlic powder

2 tablespoons buffalo sauce

¼ cup extra virgin olive oil

Directions:

1. Spray crock pot liner with olive oil spray. 
2. Spread diced onions on the bottom of the pan.
3. Top with turkey thighs.  Rub the chili powder and cumin on the turkey thighs.  Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
4. Mix ketchup, sugar, mustard, and vinegar in a small bowl.  Pour over the turkey thighs.
5. Cook on low 8-10 hours or on high for 4-6 hours.
6. Reduce heat to warm setting.

10. Enjoy!
