This pulled turkey sandwich is the perfect comfort food. The turkey is fall-apart tender and the BBQ sauce is rich and flavorful. I love serving this sandwich with mashed potatoes and green beans.

I'm a huge fan of pulled pork sandwiches, but I thought I'd give this pulled turkey sandwich a try. I was not disappointed! The turkey was just as moist and flavorful as the pork, and the BBQ sauce was amazing. I'll definitely be making this again.
