Shredded Turkey Sandwiches

If you’ve ever been to the Minnesota State Fair and devoured a “Turkey To Go” sandwich you’ll truly appreciate this shredded turkey recipe. This is the closest recipe I’ve found to the real thing. Thanks to my co-worker Steve Milbrandt for sharing this at a work potluck and to his wife Sharon for writing this recipe down. This recipe keeps really well in the refrigerator for a quick sandwich in the microwave. You could even use this for Thanksgiving leftovers.

Shredded Turkey Sandwiches

Ingredients:

1-Whole turkey thawed
Lawrys Seasoned Salt
Pepper
Garlic Salt

If needed:

Chicken bouillon or chicken broth
Cornstarch

  1. Cook the turkey as you would traditionally cook a whole turkey.
    (I like to get a turkey that has a pop-up button, and I use a turkey bag)
  2. When the turkey is done, remove from the bag and let it cool. SAVE THE JUICES!!
  3. Pull turkey apart. Using your hands grab a chuck of turkey and pull pieces off. Put the meat in a crock pot. Pour all the juices over the meat. (The juices should cover half of the meat. If you do not have enough, use chicken bouillon or chicken broth).
  4. Take Lawrys Seasoned Salt and sprinkle over the entire top of the shredded meat, a little more than medium but not real heavy. Do the same with pepper. Then sprinkle about half as much garlic salt as you did with the Lawrys Seasoned Salt. (In other words: 2-parts Lawrys Seasoned Salt, 2-parts pepper, and 1-part garlic salt.)
  5. On low heat, cook the turkey for 5 to 6 hours. Turn off the crock pot and let it cool before putting in the refrigerator.
  6. Next day, season the turkey again following same amounts as before. Cook the turkey on low heat in a crock pot for about 3 to 4 hours.
  7. About 1-2 hours before you want to serve it, add more seasonings (if needed).
    • NOTE: You don’t want the liquid to be runny, but you also don’t want it pasty. If it’s too thick, add some water. If it is to runny, add some more cornstarch mixture as follows: In a bowl, put in about 2-3 tablespoons of cornstarch and add just enough water to get the consistency of paint. Stir into turkey and check the consistency of the meat.

Serve on sliced sandwich buns
