Similar to pork barbecue, this recipe is particularly easy because it starts with leftover turkey. Think of this as a "turkey joe." This recipe was posted on the TOH bulletin board by homesweethome. I believe she found it on teriskitchen.com.

TURKEY BARBECUE SANDWICHES WITH PICKLES AND SLAW
Most turkey sandwiches are best made with slices of white meat stacked neatly between two slices of bread. Not this one. With a saucy, spicy filling piled onto a hamburger bun, it's perfect for dark meat and any scraps you may have leftover from the carcass. The cabbage slaw adds crispness and tang to the soft turkey, and bread-and-butter pickles give the sandwich a touch of sweetness. If you don't have leftover turkey in your refrigerator, this recipe works just as well with the meat torn off a rotisserie chicken.

Steps:
- In a small pot, combine 1/4 cup vinegar, the sugar and the salt. Cover pot and heat just until sugar dissolves, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, toss together cabbage, shallot, carrot and jalapeño. Pour hot vinegar mixture over vegetables and toss to combine. Cover and let sit, tossing occasionally, while you prepare the sandwiches.
- Pour barbecue sauce into a medium bowl and taste it. If it's too sweet, add a little more vinegar and hot sauce, if you like. Toss in turkey and stir until evenly coated.
- To assemble the sandwiches, spread mayonnaise inside the buns, if you like, then fill the buns with slaw, pickles and turkey. Serve with more hot sauce on the side, if you like.
Tips:
- Choose the Right Turkey: Select a fresh or frozen whole turkey between 10 and 12 pounds for optimal results.
- Dry Brine the Turkey: Enhance the turkey's flavor and moisture by dry brining it with a mixture of salt, pepper, and herbs overnight or for up to 24 hours.
- Prepare the Barbecue Sauce: Combine ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, garlic, onion, and salt to create a flavorful barbecue sauce.
- Smoke the Turkey: Smoke the turkey on a smoker or grill at a temperature between 225°F and 250°F for approximately 3 hours or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Shred the Turkey: Once the turkey is cooked, remove it from the smoker or grill and let it rest for 10 minutes before shredding it using two forks.
- Assemble the Sandwiches: Toast hamburger buns or sub rolls and fill them with shredded turkey, barbecue sauce, coleslaw, and pickles.
