Ingredients & Equipment You’ll Need

• 4 Soft Rolls
• 1 lb. Turkey Breast
• 1 can of Cola
• 1 cup of Barbecue sauce
• Coleslaw to taste

You’ll be needing a slow cooker and a panini press or toaster for this recipe. The cola combined with barbecue sauce acts as a fantastic tenderizer for the turkey. It also imparts a sweet-savory flavor that will have you reaching for seconds. Don’t have Coleslaw? A mixed salad or even just simple lettuce and tomato works well too.

How To Make Hawaiian Cola Turkey Sandwiches

1. First up, throw that turkey breast, cola, and barbecue sauce into your slow cooker. Leave it to work its magic for about 3 hours on a low setting.
2. Once cooked, shred the turkey using two forks. You want it to be nice and loose, but not too shredded that it falls apart.
3. Spoon that juicy, shredded turkey goodness onto your rolls. Add some of that slaw for the perfect crunch.
4. Finally, toast your sandwich in a panini press or toaster until golden brown and serve hot.

Tips For The Best Results

• For an extra kick, try adding some hot sauce to the barbecue & cola mix.
• Always go for boneless turkey breast to make shredding easier.

Storage Tips

• Store leftovers separately. Keep turkey, coleslaw and bread in different containers to prevent sandwich from becoming soggy.
