A flavorful sandwich combining smoky barbecue pulled turkey, tangy cranberry sauce, and creamy coleslaw on toasted brioche buns. Perfect for holiday leftovers or a quick gourmet meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked turkey, shredded
  • 1 cup barbecue sauce
  • 1 cup cranberry sauce
  • 2 cups coleslaw mix (shredded cabbage and carrots)
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 4 brioche buns
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the coleslaw: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine coleslaw mix, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss until well-coated and set aside.
  2. Heat the turkey: In a skillet over medium heat, add shredded turkey and barbecue sauce. Stir to combine and cook for 5-7 minutes, until heated through and slightly caramelized. Add a splash of water or stock if the mixture starts sticking.
  3. Toast the buns: Spread a thin layer of butter on the cut sides of the brioche buns. Place them cut-side down on a hot skillet or griddle for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown.
  4. Assemble the sandwich: Spread a generous layer of cranberry sauce on the bottom bun. Add a heaping portion of the barbecue pulled turkey, followed by a layer of the creamy coleslaw. Top with the other half of the bun.
  5. Serve: Serve immediately while the buns are warm and the turkey is hot. Pair with chips, a side salad, or sweet potato fries for a complete meal.
