Has anyone ever tried slow cooking a turkey breast in BBQ sauce and then "pulling" the meat?

I've never tried it with turkey, Jim. I've done beef & pork in the slow cooker with great results. I must tell you, though, I don't cook the meat in BBQ sauce. Since the sauce is so full of sugar, it will get a burnt taste. I put in liquid (usually water) about half-way up the meat. I do not cover the meat with liquid, because I've read/heard that it will cause the meat to shrink up too much. I add a little seasoning. Maybe half a packet of onion soup mix, and if I want it smokey I'll add a few drops of liquid smoke. Then I cover and cook on low. I usually start this around midnight.
I cut the meat off 2 turkey legs a few weekends ago and put them in my crock pot with a bunch of seasonings and covered them with water. I let it cook all day then pulled it out and shredded up the meat and added the bbq sauce.
I use leftover turkey (or chicken), chopped onion, BBQ sauce, etc on a canned biscuit that is flattened out a bit (to about 5 inches diameter), then bake for 15-20 minutes for a personal size BBQ pizza.
