Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the meat

    Rinse the turkey half and pork shoulder under cold water. Pat them dry with paper towels. Place the pork shoulder in a large bowl and rub the olive oil all over it.

  2. 2

    Season the pork

    In a small bowl, mix together paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, brown sugar, cayenne pepper, salt, black pepper, and ground cumin. Rub this spice mixture all over the pork shoulder, ensuring it's evenly coated.

  3. 3

    Prepare the turkey

    Season the turkey half with salt and pepper. Set aside.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Cook the pork

    Place the seasoned pork shoulder in a slow cooker. Add the water, cover, and cook on low for about 8 hours or until the pork is tender and easily shreds with a fork.

  2. 5

    Prepare the sauce

    In a small saucepan, combine apple cider vinegar, barbecue sauce, and honey. Heat over medium heat until warm and well mixed, about 5 minutes. Set aside.

  3. 6

    Cook the turkey

    In a separate roasting pan, place the turkey half skin side up. Brush the turkey with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

  4. 7

    Combine and serve

    Once the pork is done, shred it using two forks and mix with the prepared sauce. Serve the pulled pork alongside the roasted turkey half.
