I rarely crave a certain type of food. However, Pulled Pork Barbecue, Coleslaw, and hushpuppies,
have been on my mind all week. This Southern meal is a favorite for my family. I try not to
eat it, but once every six months. I am trying to eat healthier, so I limit my intake of fried foods
and certain cuts of pork.
There was a restaurant I loved that served delicious Turkey Barbecue. It was so good and it
tasted as good as Pork Barbecue! They closed their doors three months go. Bummer!
I used to make Turkey Barbecue using turkey thighs. The neighborhood grocery store
that sold them, moved to another town a few years ago. A lady I used to work with
sold Turkey Barbecue for her father. She took orders for pints of the his barbecue
and delivered it for him. It was very good. I tried to get recipe from her. She would
only tell me a few secrets. Her father, slow cooked whole turkeys, deboned them,
and simmered them in his Secret Sauce.
I was grocery shopping Wednesday when I saw a pork roast and turkey loin marked
down to cheaper prices. I wondered if I could combine these two meats together
and make great tasting " Pulled Barbecue". I recalled that some brands of hot
dogs, sausage, and meatloaf mix have pork and turkey mixed together. This store
also carries an old fashioned barbecue sauce that tastes like Carolina Vinegar
Pulled Pork Barbecue Sauce.
RECIPE: UPSCALE PULLED BARBECUE:
READ ALL THE TIPS BEFORE COOKING!!
2lb - 3 lb Swift Sirloin or Shoulder Pork Roast ( boneless )
Butterball Turkey Breast Loin, 24 oz
3 cups water or more.
1 teaspoon Smoked sea salt
1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika

1 small bunch scallion tops
1\2 cup Baby Ray Chipotle Sauce
Finishing Sauce
16 oz Bottle George's Original Barbecue Sauce
Note: The Pork Roast and the Turkey Loin had two pieces in each package.
I only removed one section of meat from each package (Only need four servings).
DOUBLE LIST INGREDIENTS IF WHOLE PACKAGE OF BOTH MEATS USED!!
Rinse meats well with cold water. Place them in large pot or Dutch oven.
Make sure WATER covers the meats. Add the rest of the ingredients, Except
George's BBQ sauce. Bring contents in pot to a boil, then lower the temperature
to medium (185 - 190 degrees Fahrenheit- depends on your stove!). Cover pot
with a lid and let meats simmer until fork tender ( about 1- 1 1\2 hours).
Remove the meats from the pot after it gets fork tender. Use
2 forks to pull the pork and turkey apart. Reserve 1 1\2'cups
of the cooking liquid from the pot. Place the pulled meats
cooking liquid, and 1 1\2 cups of George's BBQ sauce in the pot.
Stir meats and sauces until they are well combined.. Make sure
the pulled meat is covered with sauce. Add more George's BBQ
sauce, if necessary. Let the meat simmer 30 minutes, so flavors
can meld together. Serve with Coleslaw or your favorite side dish.
