Leftover turkey from Thanksgiving is delicious! It can be used in so many ways! I LOVE barbecue so I LOVE making pulled sandwiches with barbecue sauce. This recipe is very fast with minimal prep. The cabbage slaw gives you a salad on the side, too! So you’ve got an entire meal in minutes. ***You can always do this recipe with pork or chicken, too. If using raw meat, simply put the raw chicken breast or pork loin into a pot, add the barbecue sauce, cover and cook until heated through (about 8-10 minutes depending on how big the meat is). Remove from the heat and use a fork to shred.
