Barbecue Turkey Cole Slaw Sandwiches

"I grew up in the deep south. From a very young age I began eating barbecue sandwiches with slaw. This is a lighter version using turkey. The recipe says you can sub 1 pound of country breakfast pork chops ground in the food processor; but I have never done that. This recipe comes from Southern Living Low-Fat Recipes, January 1997."

  1. REALLY good sandwich, Paula. I've never had a barbecue with cole slaw so I didn't really know what to expect. But your recipe sounded so healthy and complete I wanted to be brave :) and give it a try. It was absolutely delicious. Only changes I made were to add a bit of salt and use 1/2 yogurt and 1/2 lowfat mayo. This is going to be a repeat./

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I came to this site in March of 2004. It was then called Recipezaar. This site was the first on-line site that I ever joined. I first popped in 2003 while searching for a Peach Cobbler Recipe. In March of 2004, DH was having shoulder surgery and I was looking for a Split Pea Soup. Once again I found myself on Zaar as it came to be called. Over the years I hung out and learned from some of the best home cooks in the country, I posted over 700 recipes on the site, reviewed over 3500 recipes and posted over 3000 food photos. Over the next 10 years the site made many changes and in 2010 it was sold to to Food Network and became Food.com. Until last year we played games, talked and shared with one another. As a result of the community and the relationships I built I got to meet some wonderful people from all over the country. I also have a great number of friends that I have never meet face to face. Some of us still hang out at various places across the net. Zaar was more than a cooking community. It was an internet community of friendship. Life is an adventure ever changing.
