- Step 1
In a small pot, combine ¼ cup vinegar, the sugar and the salt. Cover pot and heat just until sugar dissolves, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Step 2
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, toss together cabbage, shallot, carrot and jalapeño. Pour hot vinegar mixture over vegetables and toss to combine. Cover and let sit, tossing occasionally, while you prepare the sandwiches.
- Step 3
Pour barbecue sauce into a medium bowl and taste it. If it’s too sweet, add a little more vinegar and hot sauce, if you like. Toss in turkey and stir until evenly coated.
- Step 4
To assemble the sandwiches, spread mayonnaise inside the buns, if you like, then fill the buns with slaw, pickles and turkey. Serve with more hot sauce on the side, if you like.

Didn’t have the ingredients for slaw so instead topped the turkey off with the ginger cranberry relish from Susan Stamberg and melted a couple of thin slices of extra sharp cheddar over the bbq turkey. That was the last of my leftover turkey, and this was so good, I am sad about that.

Easy dinner or lunch! We left off the mayonnaise as things would have been very slippery, but we toasted the buns before piling on the goodies. I added some heat from Cowgirl Kitchen to the barbecue sauce that added to the bite from the quick slaw. This is a keeper for leftover turkey or any other roasted meats.

Made today and served with a sweet potato zapped in the microwave. Added a bit more sugar and some mayonnaise to the slaw to suit my family’s taste.

I really dislike seeing Ketchup listed as an ingredient to make anything, especially bbq sauce. it's very easy to make and very easy to make *better* than storebought. come on

*Real* tomato ketchup, Eddie?
Nadia
Made this with leftovers from Alexa Weibel's Hot Sauce Roast Chicken and it was delicious. I cooked the chicken and BBQ/hot sauce in a pan until it thickened a bit. Mayo not optional in my opinion. Tasted like a pulled pork sandwich. Will definitely make again!

Cut back on pepper flakes. Make sure to soak noodles ahead.

There must be a secret bakery somewhere that food stylists use for the hamburger buns in photo shoots like this one, and all the Burger photos on covers of cooking magazines. When, rarely, I can find them, they are between $1.00-$1.50/ bun. Perhaps a treat for my birthday.......
