We're gonna cook up some authentic North Carolina BBQ. BBQ in NC refers to a particular dish, not the style of cooking such as you would bbq ribs or chicken or whatever. Specifically, it refers to pulled pork cooked in the traditional North Carolina style. As I point out in the video in NC the hog is king. And traditional NC BBQ is made with the hog of course. In recent years people have, as an alternative, started to substitute turkey for hog and you can still get some amazing results with the right method of preparation. BBQ is something I grew up on before I stopped eating pork and the opportunity to make this authentic dish with the use of turkey is special. I prepared it the way my cousin prepares it down south, with the exception of the turkey of course.
