I've made this recipe several times and it's always a hit! The turkey is always so moist and flavorful, and the barbecue sauce is perfect. I highly recommend it.

Overall, I thought this recipe was just okay. The turkey was a bit bland and the barbecue sauce was too tangy for my taste.

I found that the turkey was a bit dry. I think I would try cooking it in a covered dish next time.

This recipe was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less brown sugar in the barbecue sauce.

Great recipe! I used boneless, skinless turkey breasts and they cooked perfectly in the crock pot. The barbecue sauce was also delicious. I will definitely be making this again.

This recipe was easy to follow and the results were delicious. The turkey was moist and flavorful, and the barbecue sauce was tangy and sweet. I served it on toasted buns with coleslaw and pickles, and it was a hit with my family.

I wasn't sure how turkey would turn out on the grill, but I was pleasantly surprised! The meat was cooked perfectly and the flavors were amazing. I'll definitely be making this again.

These pulled turkey sandwiches were a huge hit at my last cookout! The meat was so tender and juicy, and the barbecue sauce had just the right amount of sweetness and smokiness. I will definitely be making these again.
