Maple pulled turkey sandwiches

Ingredients

• 30ml olive oil
• 1.5kg turkey (legs or breasts, with bones and skin)
• 1 onion, chopped
• 250ml pure maple syrup from Canada
• 125ml tomato paste
• 125ml cider vinegar
• 340ml dark ale
• 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
• 1 tbsp ground ginger
• 1 tsp ground cloves
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 20 bread rolls

Preparation

1. Preheat the oven to 160ºC. In a large oven-proof casserole dish, heat the olive oil over medium heat and brown the turkey pieces for about 3 minutes per side. Add the onion and garlic, and fry for 1 minute. In a large bowl, combine the remaining ingredients (except the bread), then add to the casserole dish. Cover and bring to the boil, then bake for 3 hours. Leave to cool before removing the turkey pieces from the dish. Remove the skin, de-bone then shred the meat with a fork. Set the shredded turkey aside. Remove the fat from the meat juices using a spoon, then return the pulled turkey to the casserole dish. Mix together well and reheat for about 5 minutes. When ready to serve, preheat the oven to 180ºC. Fill the bread with meat and place on a baking tray, cover with kitchen foil and bake for 15 minutes.
