20 minSix ingredients, twenty minutes, and that leftover turkey suddenly has a brand new purpose.
Canned tomatoes and tomato paste create a thick, rich base that gets spiked with dry mustard, chili powder, and chopped onion for a quick barbecue sauce with real backbone.
Stir in chopped cooked turkey and let everything simmer until the flavors meld and the sauce clings to every piece.
Spoon it over hamburger buns or toast and you’ve got a satisfying sandwich that’s low on calories but big on smoky, tangy flavor.
This is the kind of recipe that makes you actually look forward to the leftovers.
Kitchen Tips
- Use dark meat turkey for richer flavor, or white meat if you’re watching calories more closely
- Mash the canned tomatoes with a fork while they simmer for a smoother, more saucy consistency
- Add a splash of vinegar or a pinch of brown sugar to adjust the tang-to-sweet ratio to your liking
