- 500g (3 1/2 cups) cooked leftover turkey, shredded or chopped
- 14g (1 tbsp) butter
- 250ml (1 cup) BBQ sauce
- 60ml (1/4 cup) apple cider vinegar
- 60ml (1/4 cup) water
Turkey Tacos
- 12 crunchy taco shells
- 2 Little Gem lettuces, finely sliced
- 1 small red onion, finely sliced
- 1 avocados, peeled and chopped [optional]
- 12 cherry tomatoes, quartered
- 1 lime, juice only
- 60ml (4 tbsp) sour cream
- 120g (1 cup) Monterey Jack cheese (or cheese of your choice), grated
- handful of cilantro (coriander)
Instructions
- BBQ Turkey: Coat the shredded/chopped leftover turkey in the flour.
- Melt the butter in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Add the turkey and cook for 5 minutes or until browned.
- Pour over the BBQ sauce and stir to get everything evenly coated.
- Pour in the vinegar and water into the mix and stir until fully combined.
- Reduce the heat to a medium low and simmer until the sauce has thickened, stirring frequently to prevent the sugar from the sauce from crystallizing. Remove from heat.
- Assembling the Turkey Tacos: Place one taco in your hand then fill it with lettuce, tomato, onion and avocado.
- Spoon the BBQ Turkey over the top.
- Drizzle over sour cream and a squeeze of lime.
- Sprinkle over the cheese and cilantro (coriander).
- Repeat this process until all tacos are filled. Alternatively, place all the ingredients in separate bowls and allow guests to build their own tacos. This makes a great family meal, so have some fun! Enjoy!
