Turkey breast cooked in a slow cooker, in a sauce flavored with maple syrup, cranberry sauce, garlic, onion, and jalapenos, along with a few other additions, then shredded and served on buns. You can use bone-in or boneless - I leave the skin on during cooking for flavor, but remove it before shredding the meat.

I did seed my jalapeno - next time I won't, as it gets cooked to death anyway! See less
