  • Mini Teriyaki Turkey Sandwiches

    Prep Time 20 min
    Cook Time 5 hours 30 min
    Yield 20 sandwiches

    Ingredients

    • 2 boneless skinless turkey breast halves (2 pounds each)
    • 2/3 cup packed brown sugar
    • 2/3 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
    • 1/4 cup cider vinegar
    • 3 garlic cloves, minced
    • 1 tablespoon minced fresh gingerroot
    • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
    • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
    • 2 tablespoons cold water
    • 20 Hawaiian sweet rolls
    • 2 tablespoons butter, melted

    Directions

    1. Place turkey in a 5- or 6-qt. slow cooker. In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, ginger and pepper; pour over turkey. Cook, covered, on low 5-6 hours or until meat is tender.
    2. Remove turkey from slow cooker. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and cold water until smooth; gradually stir into cooking liquid. When cool enough to handle, shred meat with 2 forks and return meat to slow cooker. Cook, covered, on high until sauce is thickened, 30-35 minutes.
    3. Preheat oven to 325°. Split rolls and brush cut sides with butter; place on an ungreased baking sheet, cut side up. Bake 8-10 minutes or until toasted and golden brown. Spoon 1/3 cup turkey mixture on roll bottoms. Replace tops.
