Sweet’s Turkey BBQ offers a fresh take on a Carolina classic

GREENSBORO, N.C. (WGHP) — Sweet’s Turkey BBQ offers a fresh take on one of the Tar Heel State’s most iconic cuisines.

Barbecue is one of North Carolina’s most culturally significant dishes. However, usually that involves the use of pork as the meat of choice.

Alex White, the owner of Sweet’s Turkey BBQ, says that their methods trace back to decades-old smoked and fried turkey recipes from his father.

After years of hard work, they finally opened their food truck in 2021.

Their turkey is smoked for 3-5 hours, chopped and served with five different flavors of barbecue. Those flavors are Smoked, Cajun smoked, Jerk, Hawaiian and Curry

White says that unlike pork which breaks down and falls apart more easily when prepared; turkey absorbs more flavor.

The Smoked Turkey BBQ is a fan favorite.

Sweet Turkey’s BBQ also offers delicious sides such as mac & cheese, green beans, baked beans and french fries. They also offer desserts like the Slap ‘Yo Mama Peach Cobbler and seasonal apple cobbler.

You can find Sweet’s Turkey BBQ all across the Triad and across the state as a whole. This week alone, the truck appeared in Knightdale and will be making appearances in Greensboro and Sanford.

To keep up with the food truck, you can find their weekly schedule on their website or follow them on Facebook . You can contact them for catering by email at sweetsturkerbbq@gmail.com or by calling (336) 210-7610.
