Crock Pot Pulled Turkey

 

You know that addicting buffalo chicken recipe that is ever so popular at pot lucks? Well that is the recipe that inspired me to create this amazing recipe.  I wanted to end Crocktober with a Turkey dish, that would give you enough turkey meat to make a few days worth of meals.  By using two packages of Turkey Tenderloins you will get enough pulled turkey for our next two part series on pulled turkey!  I added some frozen cauliflower gnocchi when I prepared this.  You can mix it up by adding sweet potatoes , squash, green beams. really anything that you like will taste delicious in this sauce.  The zhoug gives it just enough spice, that will carry over nicely into our other upcoming recipes.   Turkey meat will last about 5 days in the fridge, so you may want to wait on this one till we post the next two recipes.
