are turkey thighs simmered slowly with a little broth, tomatillos and green chiles until the meat is falling off the bone. Then bone it and shred it with a couple of forks, green stuff and all. Use it for tacos, tostadas, tamales, and whatever you'd use pulled pork for in Mexican cooking.

Now that I can't eat wheat, stuff like this is becoming my standard diet.
