Thanksgiving Leftover BBQ Turkey Sliders

Serves 4


Ingredients

1 jar Otamot Organic Essential Tomato Sauce

½ cup apple cider vinegar

¾ cup cranberry sauce

⅓ cup molasses

3 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

2 tsp liquid smoke

1 tsp smoked paprika

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp kosher salt

½ tsp freshly cracked black pepper

½ tsp onion powder

2 cups roast turkey, shredded

8 dinner rolls or slider buns, cut in half


Preparation:

  1. Combine all the ingredients except the turkey and dinner rolls in a medium sauce pot.  Heat over medium-low heat and stir.  Bring the BBQ sauce to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes to combine all the flavors.
  2. Place the shredded turkey in a mixing bowl and add one cup of the prepared BBQ sauce.  Stir to evenly coat the meat.
  3. Spoon about ⅓ cup of BBQ turkey onto each dinner roll.  Serve with dill pickle slices or additional cranberry sauce on each slider.

**SPECIAL NOTES – The cranberry sauce adds sweetness to the BBQ sauce and a great tart element.  Feel free to use leftover white or dark meat in the sliders.  If you don’t have leftover dinner rolls, store-bought slider buns work great too.  These sliders would also be great topped with cheese you might have leftover from a cheese platter or a spoonful of warmed leftover stuffing.  This BBQ sauce recipe will make more than you need for the sliders.  The sauce will keep well in the fridge for two weeks.
