Pulled turkey is a flavorful and versatile dish made from slow-cooked or roasted turkey meat, shredded into tender strips. Originating from barbecue-inspired cuisine, it’s often seasoned with spices, herbs, or sauces that can range from tangy and smoky to mildly sweet, depending on regional preferences. Turkey itself is a lean protein source, making pulled turkey a heart-healthy option when prepared without excessive fats or calorie-dense additions. Rich in vitamins B6 and B12, as well as essential minerals like selenium and zinc, turkey contributes to immune function and muscle repair. Compared to pulled pork, it typically contains fewer calories and less saturated fat, ideal for those watching cholesterol intake. However, pre-prepared versions with heavy sauces may include added sugars and sodium. Pair it with nutrient-packed sides like steamed vegetables or whole grains for a balanced meal that highlights its health benefits.
