How To Make leftover essentials: bbq shredded turkey

  PREP/PREPARE
• 
  Step 2
  What will you need? You will need a saucepan large enough to hold all of the ingredients, and that is about it.
• 
  Step 3
  What is it? It is shredded or chopped turkey and BBQ sauce. What makes this recipe different is that we are not using a standard bottled sauce. This particular sauce is designed to work best with poultry. It is tangy with a bit of sweet/sour that allows the flavors of the turkey to come through. Use it with white or dark meat, or a bit of both.

  Step 4
  What to serve with it? This is great served on soft rolls, or maybe served over some rice. Also, a few tall cold ones would not be amiss.
• 
  Step 5
  How to store it? Stored in a good container, this recipe will last 5 – 7 days in the fridge. In addition, you can freeze it, and it will last 2 – 3 months. If you vacuum seal and freeze it, this recipe will last a 12 – 14 months.
