Provided by Trisha Yearwood

Categories     main-dish

Time 8h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon pepper
3 medium onions, quartered
12 cloves garlic, peeled
1 bone-in skin-on whole turkey breast (about 6 pounds), rinsed and dried
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, room temperature

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, mix the salt, garlic powder, smoked paprika and pepper until well combined. Put the onions in the bottom of a 6-quart slow cooker with the garlic cloves.
  • Slowly work your fingers under the skin of the turkey breast to separate the skin from the breast, being careful not to tear the skin. Rub the butter under the skin, covering the entire breast as evenly as possible, then rub the outside of the skin with the garlic powder mixture.
  • Place the turkey breast on top of the onions and garlic in the slow cooker and set the slow cooker to low. Cook until the meat is falling apart, 6 to 8 hours depending on the size of the breast.
  • Remove the turkey and any bones from the slow cooker. Pull the meat off of the bone and place the turkey back into the juices left in the slow cooker. Using 2 forks, shred the meat in the juices and allow to rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

CROCK POT PULLED TURKEY



Crock Pot Pulled Turkey image

Here's a lower fat variation on the theme of pulled pork, a barbecue favorite from the South. If you like intensely smoky flavour, increase the quantity of the liquid smoke, but be careful--a little goes a long way. Serve this between hot split onion or Kaiser buns, accompanied by a bowl of coleslaw for a "down home" dinner that all will enjoy.

Tips:

1. Choose the right turkey: For moist and flavorful shredded turkey, use a bone-in turkey breast. A whole turkey can also be used, but it will take longer to cook. 2. Season the turkey well: Before cooking, season the turkey generously with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices. This will help to enhance the flavor of the meat. 3. Add moisture to the crock pot: To prevent the turkey from drying out, add some liquid to the crock pot. This can be water, broth, or even apple cider. 4. Cook the turkey on low heat: Cooking the turkey on low heat will help to keep it moist and prevent it from overcooking. 5. Shred the turkey when it is done cooking: Once the turkey is cooked through, remove it from the crock pot and shred it with two forks.

Conclusion:

Crock-Pot shredded turkey is a versatile and easy-to-make meal that can be used in a variety of dishes. Whether you are making tacos, sandwiches, or soup, shredded turkey is a great option. With a little planning and preparation, you can have a delicious and satisfying meal on the table in no time.
