Shredded Crockpot Turkey
My cousins were in town for the Packer v. Bear game (Go Pack Go) and I wanted to put something together for them after the game. The football game did not start until 7 pm, and that means the crockpot is in order! Shredded turkey sandwiches are my favorite thing to make. In addition to being really easy- they are really yummy. We serves our turkey over my mashed red skin potatoes and a piece of wheat bread (my Mom calls it a "Hot Shot"), but it is great as a sandwich too. This recipe is pretty big because we had to feed a lot of people, but the meat freezes well. Enjoy!
