Deviled Eggs - Korean BBQ Turkey with Asian Slaw

6 hard boiled eggs

1 tbsp mayonnaise

1 tbsp good quality mustard (I prefer whole grain)

1 tbsp vinegar

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup finely shredded/minced leftover turkey

1 tbsp gochujang Korean BBQ paste

1 tbsp brown sugar

1 tbsp rice wine vinegar

1 tbsp soy sauce

1 clove garlic, minced

¼ tsp sesame oil

½ cup finely shredded/minced cabbage

¼ cup bell pepper (Mix or red, yellow and orange) finely sliced, ½-long pieces

½ tbsp rice wine vinegar

1 tsp brown sugar

½ tsp soy sauce

1 tsp vegetable oil

¼ tsp sesame oil

Black pepper to taste

Hard boil the eggs. You can find our favorite method here!
Once peeled and cool, halve the eggs lengthwise and transfer the yolks to a bowl. Completely mash the yolks with a fork until crumbly and no large pieces remain. (A food processor works great).
Add the mayonnaise, mustard and vinegar. Mix until well combined. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Arrange the egg whites on a serving plate and fill the centers with the yolk mixture. Do not overfill. The yolk mixture should be even with the top of the egg white.

This is a flavorful way to use leftover turkey. Double or triple this recipe and use for sandwiches!
Add turkey to a medium mixing bowl and set aside.
In a small bowl combine the remaining ingredients and mix well.
Add half of the BBQ Sauce to the turkey and mix.
Add additional BBQ until the turkey is coated with the sauce and moist. You may not need the entire amount of BBQ sauce.
Top each egg half with a heaping teaspoon of the BBQ turkey.

In addition to topping our deviled eggs, this makes for a great side dish.
Combine the cabbage and peppers in a bowl and set aside.
Mix the remaining ingredients in a small bowl until well incorporated to make the dressing.
Add small amounts of the dressing to the slaw mixture until it is coated, but not soggy.
Top each of the BBQ Turkey Deviled Eggs with a small amount of the slaw.
Garnish with Sesame Seeds (black and/or white). Enjoy!
