Tips:

  • To ensure your turkey is perfectly cooked, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165°F (74°C) before removing it from the oven.
  • If you don't have a meat thermometer, insert a fork into the thickest part of the turkey breast; if the juices run clear, the turkey is done.
  • Let the turkey rest for 10-15 minutes before shredding it. This will help the juices redistribute and make the meat more tender.
  • Use a combination of dry rubs and wet rubs to add flavor to the turkey. Dry rubs can be applied up to 24 hours in advance, while wet rubs should be applied just before cooking.
  • Shred the turkey with two forks or use a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Avoid over-shredding, as this can make the meat tough.
  • Serve the pulled turkey sandwiches with your favorite toppings, such as coleslaw, pickles, and barbecue sauce.

Conclusion:

Barbecue pulled turkey sandwiches are a delicious and versatile meal that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. With a little planning and preparation, you can easily make this dish at home. So next time you're craving a hearty and flavorful sandwich, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
