This turkey barbecue is the epitome of good eatin'. If you're accustomed to eating only cold cut or Thanksgiving turkey, you're sure to enjoy this recipe.

Ingredients
1 turkey (about 12 pounds)
1/2 cup butter, melted
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons steak sauce
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon lemon-pepper seasoning
1 tablespoon pepper
2 to 3 teaspoons cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup chicken broth
12 sandwich rolls, split
Lettuce leaves and tomato slices, optional
Instructions
1 Make and apply the marinade
2 Breast side up, place the turkey on a rack in a roasting pan. Combine the butter, Worcestershire sauce, steak sauce and seasonings, and rub 3 tablespoons over the turkey. Then, cover and refrigerate the remaining butter mixture.
3 Bake the turkey, uncovered, at 325°F for about three hours or until a meat thermometer reads 180°. Remember to baste the turkey occasionally with the pan drippings.
4 Shred the meat
5 Remove the turkey and pour the drippings into a saucepan. When the turkey is cool enough to handle, remove the meat from the bones. Shred the turkey and return it to the roasting pan.
6 Finish the sauce
7 Add the broth and remaining butter mixture to the drippings and bring everything to a rolling boil. Once it reaches a boil, remove it from the heat and pour over the shredded turkey.
8 Warm and serve
9 Cover the turkey and sauce and bake at 325° for 25 to 30 minutes or until heated through. Serve on rolls and top with lettuce and tomato, if desired, for a barbecue turkey sandwich.
