Pulled Turkey Sandwiches

Smoked turkey on the Big Green Egg has got to be one of my very favorite meals.  I normally smoke a whole turkey but I recently found a recipe using 2 split turkey breasts which is a little more manageable than a whole bird. 

This is a recipe that you have got to try for yourself.  The turkey is super tasty as a sandwich, it adds a delicious boost of protein to a healthy green salad and it's fabulous on it's own.

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
4 Tablespoons butter

1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup cider vinegar

1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne

Pat turkey dry with paper towels.  Sprinkle with 1 Tablespoon salt.  Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. 
15 minutes before grilling, soak wood chips in water.  Drain.  Wrap in foil.  Place over charcoal on grill.

Or, if you prefer to save on carbs - skip the bun.

You can even boost the vegetable factor and serve the turkey over a be of lettuce.

The four of us had LOTS of turkey for dinner and we still had plenty left over for lunches the rest of the week.  I'm already thinking about my lunch this afternoon.  Will it be a turkey sandwich or a turkey salad?   Ahhhhh, the possibilities. 

Ciao!
