Cayenne and lemon pepper add zip to this tantalizing shredded turkey that will have guests lining up for seconds. The well-seasoned meat takes some time to prepare, but it's well worth the effort. -Tammy Schill, Omaha, Nebraska Ingredients:
1 turkey (about 12 pounds) |
1/2 cup butter, melted |
2 tablespoons worcestershire sauce |
2 tablespoons steak sauce |
1 tablespoon garlic powder |
1 tablespoon onion powder |
1 tablespoon lemon-pepper seasoning |
1 tablespoon pepper |
2 to 3 teaspoons cayenne pepper |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1 cup chicken broth |
12 sandwich rolls, split |
lettuce leaves and tomato slices, optional |
Directions:
1. Place turkey, breast side up, on a rack in a roasting pan. Combine the butter, Worcestershire sauce, steak sauce and seasonings; rub 3 tablespoons over turkey. Cover and refrigerate remaining butter mixture. Bake turkey, uncovered, at 325° for 3 to 3-1/2 hours or until a meat thermometer reads 180°, basting occasionally with pan drippings.
2. Remove turkey; pour drippings into a saucepan. When turkey is cool enough to handle, remove meat from the bones. Shred turkey and return to the roasting pan. Add broth and remaining butter mixture to the drippings; bring to a rolling boil. Pour over shredded turkey.
3. Cover and bake at 325° for 25-30 minutes or until heated through. Serve on rolls with lettuce and tomato if desired. Yield: 12 servings.
