Photo: Slow Cooker Pulled Turkey Sandwiches Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 small red onion, chopped
- 4 turkey thighs (about 4 pounds)
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- Serving suggestions: seeded hamburger buns, pickle slices, prepared coleslaw
Directions
Spread the onions in the bottom of a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker. Rub the turkey thighs with the chili powder, cumin, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and place over the onions. Stir together the ketchup, sugar and mustard and pour over the turkey. Cover and cook on low for 5 to 6 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours. The turkey should be very tender with the meat falling off the bones.
Uncover and stir. Let cool for 10 minutes. Using two forks, shred the turkey meat, discarding the bones. Stir in the vinegar and season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve on hamburger buns with pickles and/or coleslaw if desired.
Cook's Note: Choose the higher setting (and shorting cooking time) if it's more convenient for your day.

Not a big turkey fan, but turkey thighs were so cheap on sale one would have to be an idiot to walk by them. I totally forgot to add the brown sugar (and I had it and this was an amazing recipe. I used whole seed mustard because it was all I had. I added some smoked paprika, garlic powder and a touched of minced garlic to the mix and wham, awesome (with no brown sugar I might add. Definitely a keeper and be sure to salt and pepper your thighs prior to dropping in the crocker.
