Turkey Sandwich

We believe turkey should get the same fire, patience, and attention as any other meat on the block. This one stays clean, juicy, and built for people who know not to overlook the bird.

Don’t sleep on the Turkey Sandwich.When turkey is handled right, the smoke sits light, the meat stays juicy, and every bite lands clean instead of heavy. At 2fifty, we treat it with the same respect we give the rest of the pit.

The Turkey Sandwich is a straightforward build: ¼ lb of meat on the sandwich, with coleslaw, pickles, and onions on the side. That’s it. No clutter, no need to dress it up with ten different moves before the first bite. Just smoked turkey that holds its moisture, with crisp, sharp sides ready when you want them.

A good turkey sandwich should taste like barbecue, not like a backup option. The reason this one works is balance. Turkey carries smoke differently than brisket or pork. It needs a lighter hand and real control on the pit, especially when you’re cooking over wood-fired offset smokers the way we do every day in Riverdale Park. The meat comes out tender and sliceable, with enough smoke to remind you where it came from, but not so much that it buries the bird itself. Then the sides do their job. Pickles bring acid. Onions bring bite. Slaw brings crunch and a little cool relief. Together, they keep the sandwich moving.

Start with a clean bite first.Then add onions for bite, pickles for acid, and finish with slaw for balance.That order lets you taste the turkey before the sides start talking.

Pro tip: it goes really well with our honey mustard sauce!

Pre-order ahead and skip the line.
