5 lbs turkey meat (white and dark)
3 (8 ounce) cans tomato sauce
1 tablespoon of minced onion
1 tablespoon garlic salt

1 sweet red pepper strips
water
1/2 cup salsa (I will posting an easy one soon)

  • Add tomato sauce (more is better).
  • Add remaining ingredients.
  • Simmer on low and stir frequently.
  • After the turkey has cooked for about an hour begin breaking up any clumped turkey pieces to get it shredded.
  • Once the broth has dissapated and about 1/3 is left -- Turn off and ENJOY!
  • Add to taco shells or in a burrito.
  • To add some zing add a litttle cayenne pepper. You can also fry the burrito to make it a chimichanga.
