Hot Turkey Sandwiches

These slow cooker Hot Turkey Sandwiches are a copycat of “Turkey-to-Go” sandwiches from the Minnesota State Fair. For the juiciest shredded turkey you’ve ever tasted, start with a can of beer and end with a stick of butter.

Ingredients :
  • 1 can light beer
  • 1 packet onion soup mix or homemade
  • 1 teaspoon chicken base
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley
  • salt and ground white pepper
  • 10 pounds bone-in skin-on turkey breast
  • 1/2 cup butter cubed
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch optional
  • rolls split, for serving
Directions :
  1. In the bottom of a slow cooker, add beer, onion soup mix, chicken base, dried parsley, and 1 teaspoon white pepper. Add turkey breast. Cover and cook on LOW for 6 to 8 hours or HIGH for 3 to 4 hours, until turkey reaches an internal temperature of 175 degrees.
  2. Remove turkey breast from slow cooker and transfer to a rimmed baking sheet. Take off skin and separate meat from bones, discarding bones and skin. Shred turkey.
  3. While the meat is still out of the slow cooker, stir in butter until melted. For a thicker broth, remove ½ cup broth and whisk with cornstarch. Add back to slow cooker.
  4. Add shredded turkey back to slow cooker and heat until broth is thickened, about 10 minutes. Season to taste with salt and white pepper. Serve with rolls.
