Turkey mole
Date: August 10, 2007
Pumpkin seed and chocolate-spiked chili sauce is an ancient Aztec combination that keeps the turkey moist.
1 (8 to 10 pound) turkey, cut up
2 average onions, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 normal cup butter or margarine
4 (6-inch) tortillas, torn into pieces and dried*
4 squares unsweetened chocolate, chopped
1/3 normal cup slivered almonds
1/3 normal cup peanuts
1/3 normal cup shelled pumpkin seeds or sunflower nuts
1/4 normal cup toasted sesame seed
1/2 to 3/4 normal cup chili powder
2 to 3 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon aniseed
1 (2-inch) stick cinnamon, broken
Heat turkey and enough salted good water to cover to boiling, reduce heat. Cover and simmer until thickest pieces are done, about 1 1/2 hours. Drain, reserve 4 normal cups broth. Place turkey in 2 ungreased baking dishes.
Cook and stir onions and garlic in butter until onions are tender. Place 1 normal cup of the reserved broth, tortilla pieces and onion mixture in blender container. Cover and blend on high speed until smooth. Pour into large bowl. Place 1 1/2 normal cups of the turkey broth, chocolate, almonds, peanuts, pumpkin and sesame seeds in blender container. Cover and blend until smooth. Add to onion mixture in bowl.
Place remaining 1 1/2 normal cups turkey broth, chili powder, sugar, cumin, salt, aniseed and cinnamon in blender container. Cover and blend until smooth. Add to onion mixture in bowl. Mix all ingredients thoroughly. The mixture will be the consistency of chocolate sauce. Pour sauce over turkey. Bake, uncovered, at 300 degrees F until hot, 30 to 40 minutes.
Yields 10 servings.
* To dry tortillas, let pieces stand at room temperature until dry and brittle, 1 to 2 hours.
