Turn Your Leftovers into a Mouthwatering Barbecue Turkey Sandwich

20 Nov 2022

Everyone has a big, juicy turkey on their table for their holiday meal on Thanksgiving Day. This usually means there will be plenty of turkey to go around, and still have some leftovers. Looking for Thanksgiving leftover ideas? Avoid serving your family those boring scraps and dry turkey the day after Thanksgiving Day. Surprise the family with a new and juicy turkey sandwich with a barbecue twist, Texas style. Our experienced pitmasters are here to help you come up with the best Thanksgiving leftover recipe, that is quick and easy.

Let’s talk about these impeccable barbecue turkey sandwiches that we are about to make. With the help of Dickey’s Barbecue Pit, you can turn those leftovers into a new and exciting meal for the family. With our authentic barbecue sauce and southern style sides, you can have Thanksgiving dinner part 2. But, this time without all the hassle of preparing and cooking in the kitchen for hours!

This quick and easy recipe will only take you minutes and can feed the whole family. First, pull apart your turkey from the bones and skin. We don’t want to eat dry left-over turkey, instead we want to add some sauce to give it some more flavor and moisture. You can toss your pulled turkey in any one of Dickey’s BBQ sauce from original, sweet, or even spicy. Now that your pulled turkey is all sauced up, let’s build a sandwich! Put your turkey in between two brioche buns (or any buns of our choice) and add some fresh toppings. You can keep it simple with just pickles or add some of our cabbage slaw available every day. Now that sounds legit!

You already got our BBQ sauce, our toppings, you might as well finish off your family meal by getting a side or two from your local barbecue restaurant. Choose from a variety of our southern style sides like mac and cheese, fried okra, bacon green beans, potato salad, and more. No matter what side you decide to get, they will go perfect with your delectable barbecue turkey sandwich!
