Pulled Turkey Breast
Mix together salt, pepper, garlic powder and cumin to create seasoning rub*. Season the turkey breast, evenly coating the turkey breast with rub.
Sear breast in a skillet (or put it on the grill) and then slow cook the breast until it is fully cooked, reaching 165°F when measured by a meat thermometer.
Shred the meat and mix with vinegar sauce (recipe below). Use the Carolina BBQ sauce (recipe below) as an accompaniment.
Serve with slider rolls.
Vinegar Hot Sauce
Mix all ingredients in sauce pan. Simmer for 2 hours over low heat. Serve warm or room temperature.
Carolina Style BBQ Sauce
In a sauce pan, over medium heat, melt butter. Add onions and peppers and cook until soft. Add remaining ingredients and simmer for 2 hours. Blend sauce until smooth.
*Notes: Seasoning rub is a base recipe, may be adjusted for taste. Turkey can be served immediately, or chilled and reheated at a later date. This can also be frozen.
