Ingredients
For The Smoky Turkey
-
1 tbsp oil
-
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
-
1 large garlic clove, crushed
-
1 tsp sweet smoked paprika
-
1/2tsp chipotle paste
-
1 tbsp bbq sauce
-
1 tbsp tomato paste
-
1/2tbsp maple syrup
-
250g-300g cooked turkey meat, shredded
To Serve
-
8-12 bread rolls/buns
-
100g leftover cheese, grated (we particularly like using smoked for this recipe)
-
50g red cabbage, shredded
-
red chilli, optional
-
lime wedges
Directions
Heat the oil in a saucepan over a medium heat. Add the onion and fry for 4 - 5 minutes until it begins to soften. Add the garlic to the pan along with a pinch of sea salt and fry for a further minute
Once the onions are tender add the paprika, chipotle paste, bbq sauce, tomato puree and maple syrup to the pan. Stir all the ingredient together before pouring in 100ml water and stir again
Bring the sauce to simmer, turn down the heat to medium/low and allow to gently simmer for 5 - 6 minutes until the sauce has reduced and is thick and glossy
Stir through the shredded meat and allow to gently warm over a low heat for a couple of minutes, stirring continuously to ensure the meat doesn’t stick
Remove the meat and sauce from the heat and set aside whilst you prepare the toppings
Place the bread rolls on a serving platter along with a bowl of grated cheese. Finely sliced the red cabbage to shred and also place in a bowl on the platter. Thinly slice the chilli and add to platter as an optional extra along with lime wedges
Finally spoon the meat into a bowl or straight into the rolls and place on the platter - serve straight to the table for guests to help themselves
