Mom's Barbecue-Style Turkey

Tender leftover turkey simmers in a sweet-tangy barbecue sauce with onions, celery, and green bell pepper for a comforting, saucy skillet dish. It’s rich, lightly smoky, and a little sweet, perfect piled onto soft rolls, spooned over rice, or twirled with noodles. Mom's Barbecue-Style Turkey is ideal for an easy weeknight dinner or casual weekend lunch.
