Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    For a real southern treat, serve this barbecued turkey over warm baking powder biscuits. Just pop some refrigerated baking powder biscuits into the oven while you shred the turkey.
  • tip 2
    To serve, with slotted spoon, spoon about 1/3 cup turkey mixture onto bottom halves of buns. Top each with rounded tablespoon coleslaw. Cover with top halves of buns.
