Turkette
Although I didn’t make this recipe, I can tell you that it is absolutely delicious. My aunt made it over the weekend, and the leftover just keep getting better and better. Turkette is similar to porkette or pulled pork, but it’s made with turkey obviously. After roasting a
turkey, my aunt pulled the turkey off the bone, shredded it, and added it to her slow cooker with the broth from the roasting pan. Of course, she doesn’t have an exact recipe (she’s another old school cook like my mom), so I don’t know the exact measurements on the spices, but she added fennel, oregano, basil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste. She also adds some water if there isn’t enough broth to moisten the turkey. After cooking the turkey on low for a few hours (at least 3, up to 8 she says), the turkette is served on buns. Our favorite topping is sweet pickled relish, but I’m sure there are other good ones. It’s a little bit different, but it makes a great sandwich!
I have an old family recipe that’s also called Turkette. It’s a casserole with turkette or chicken, speghetti, pimientos, chopped onion, chicken or turkette broth and shredded American cheese. Delicious.
In the turkette recipe I sent to you I forgot to list cream of mushroom soup.
I plan to try your recipe for turkette as well. It sounds very good too. I’ll trying estimating the amts for the spices.
hey can you please send me a copy of your turkette recipe
