This Turkey Barbecue Sandwich is similar to pork barbecue. The recipe is particularly easy because it starts with leftover turkey. Think of this as a ‘turkey joe!’
A wonderful way to use up leftover turkey or chicken!
The sauce is just phenomenal! It has got just the right tang to make this a top quality BBQ sauce for any type of meat.
I think I’ll be making it on its own and freezing it for adding to meals, it’s honestly that good!

- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 1 8 ounce can tomato sauce, unsalted preferred
- 1 cup ketchup
- 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 3 tablespoons cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon prepared yellow mustard
- 1/2 cup water or 1⁄2 cup low sodium chicken broth
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 4 cups cooked turkey skin removed, cut into small cubes (white or dark meat or both)
- 8 soft hamburger buns
- Heat a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Melt the butter, then add the onions and saute until softened.
- Add the remaining ingredients except the turkey and buns to the pan. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer about 30 minutes. Taste for seasoning.
- Place the turkey in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add enough of the sauce to generously moisten the meat, but not enough to make it soupy. (Extra sauce may be refrigerated for several days or frozen for later use.) Cover and cook until the turkey is hot, about 10 minutes.
Serve hot on hamburger buns.
Enjoy!
