Pulled Poultry BBQ Sandwiches with Slaw

The ultimate recipe for leftovers! Good for extra turkey or roasted chicken and quick to make.

Ingredients for Slaw:
3 Tbs mayo
2 Tbs apple cider vinegar (less if you like a more creamy slaw)
1/2 tsp celery seeds
3c shredded cabbage or broccoli (or whatever you prefer - I buy the pre-julienned veggies to save time)

Ingredients for BBQ:
4 slices of bacon
1 c tomato puree/sauce
1/4c apple cider vinegar
1/4c water
3 Tbs packed brown sugar
1 tsp chili powder
1/4 tsp ground cumin
2.5c of cooked turkey or chicken, shredded (light and dark meat)
4 soft rolls

For the slaw:
Whisk mayo, vinegar, celery seeds together. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Toss together with veggies. Cover bowl and chill.

For the BBQ:
Saute bacon over medium heat until crisp and brown. Pour off additional fat. Add tomato puree, vinegars, water, sugar, chili powder and cumin. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for at least 5 minutes. Add shredded meat to BBQ sauve and bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally. You can keep it on low until you're ready to eat.

Split and toast rolls. I like to eat my slaw on my BBQ sandwich. Seth has his slaw on the side. To each his own...
