Ingredients

• 2 pounds Turkey breast
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 3 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 3 tablespoons Coconut aminos
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 2 teaspoons Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the turkey breast. Pat it dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the chicken broth, apple cider vinegar, tomato paste, coconut aminos, honey, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until all ingredients are well combined.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the turkey breasts and sear them for about 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. This step will help lock in the flavors.

Step 4

Place the seared turkey breasts into a slow cooker. Pour the sauce mixture over the turkey, ensuring it is well covered.

Step 5

Cover the slow cooker with its lid and set it to cook on low heat for 8 hours. This slow cooking will ensure that the turkey is tender and easily shredded.

Step 6

Once cooked, use two forks to gently pull apart and shred the turkey in the slow cooker. Mix the shredded turkey well with the sauce in the slow cooker.

Step 7

Serve the Paleo Pulled Turkey warm. It pairs wonderfully with a side of roasted vegetables or atop a fresh salad.
