How to Make Barbecue Turkey Cole Slaw Sandwiches
- In a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, cook 1 lb ground turkey and 1 medium chopped yellow onion until browned, breaking up the turkey with a spoon. Drain off any excess grease.
- Stir in 1 cup tomato sauce, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- While the turkey mixture simmers, split and lightly toast the 4 hamburger buns.
- In a separate bowl, combine 4 cups shredded green cabbage, 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1/4 teaspoon celery seed, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Spoon the turkey mixture onto the bottom halves of the toasted buns.
- Top with the coleslaw mixture and the top halves of the buns.
- Serve immediately. Optional: Serve with baked beans and crisp vegetable sticks.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
