I have an excellent source for turkey recipes, since many of our neighbors are poultry farmers! These satisfying sandwiches, with their mildly tangy sauce, are a great way to use up leftover turkey from the holidays.

Ingredients

  • 2 celery ribs, chopped
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped green pepper
  • 2/3 cup butter, softened and divided
  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
  • 4 cups shredded cooked turkey
  • 8 hamburger buns, split and toasted

Directions

  1. In a saucepan, saute the celery, onion and green pepper in 1/3 cup butter until tender. Add the next seven ingredients.
  2. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 5 minutes. Add turkey; heat through. Spread the cut side of each hamburger bun with 1 teaspoon remaining butter. Serve turkey mixture on buns.
