After thinking for a bit here is what I would suggest:

Turkey breasts will be going on sale as will el-cheap-o turkeys.
Buy one.

Find a wonderful recipe for a Chinese Chicken salad
Make sure the recipe uses Rice Vinegar & a bit of pepper
Take the turkey/breast and poach the breast in seasoned chicken broth (make
sure to add poultry seasoning)
When the turkey is cooled shred the turkey
Make sure to season the shredded turkey lightly with the dressing at least
the day before.

Serve Koko's Special Chinese Turkey Salad assembled from baggies a few
minutes before the pot luck.

Crispy, flavorful, and refreshing.
