Sweet and Tangy Pulled Turkey with Pomegranate Vinegar

This dish is so easy to prepare that although it’s tasty enough to serve during a holiday, it’s also a wonderful recipe for any day of the week. 

I love serving this pulled turkey “bowl” style with roasted vegetables, some lentils, beans or chickpeas, rice or another grain, and always some dark leafy greens (either cooked or raw). Sometimes I bring it to the table and everyone chooses their own garnishes.  

You can also serve it as a sandwich with all your favorite toppings. Leaving the skin on makes for juicier turkey, so even if you don’t like eating it, just remove once turkey is cooked.
