Homemade Turkey Recipe

1. 1

   Season the turkey

   Pat the turkey breast dry. Rub with olive oil, then season evenly with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder (if using).

2. 2

   Roast and shred

   Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Place the turkey on a rack in a roasting pan and roast for about 1.5–2 hours, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from oven and let rest 15 minutes, then hand-pull the meat into shreds using two forks.

3. 3

   Warm the shredded turkey (optional)

   If the turkey needs warming, transfer the shreds to a skillet with a splash of pan juices and heat over low for 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

4. 4

   Toast the buns

   In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Lightly toast the cut sides of the buns until golden and fragrant.

5. 5

   Assemble the sandwich

   Spread mayonnaise on the toasted buns. Layer lettuce on the bottom bun, then add tomato slices, onion slices, and a layer of provolone cheese. Pile the warm pulled turkey on top, then cap with the cheese-covered top bun.
