Modo de preparo

1. 1

   Debone the turkey thighs and cut them into small, even pieces so they cook quickly and stay tender. Set the bones aside for the stock.

2. 2

   Season the turkey with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, chili pepper, a chicken seasoning cube, and salt. Mix everything in well so the turkey is nicely coated, then cover and set it aside.

3. 3

   To make the turkey stock, place the reserved turkey bones and skin in a pot with chopped onion, sliced carrot, crushed garlic and ginger, a seasoning cube, salt, and water. Let it boil for about 15 minutes, making sure it doesn’t dry out.

4. 4

   While the stock is simmering, dice up your onions and blend the pepper mix: red bell peppers, tomatoes, habanero, and half a green pepper. Blend it roughly using a food processor and set it aside.

5. 5

   Once the stock is ready, strain it and keep the liquid.

6. 6

   Rinse your rice thoroughly, then add it to a pot with one cup of the turkey stock, one cup of water, and a pinch of salt. Bring it to a boil and cook until soft. Once done, fluff the rice and set aside.

7. 7

   Heat some oil in a pan and fry the seasoned turkey pieces until they’re cooked through and slightly golden. You can do this in batches if needed. Once cooked, remove and set aside.

8. 8

   In the same pan, add chopped onions and minced garlic. Fry until fragrant and translucent, then pour in your blended pepper mix. Season with salt, a seasoning cube, and paprika. Let it cook for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the raw taste is gone.

9. 9

   Add the fried turkey pieces and chopped red and green bell peppers. Mix well and fry for a minute or two.

10. 10

    Now add the cooked rice and stir everything together until it’s well combined and heated through. Let it sit for a couple more minutes, stirring once more before taking it off the heat.

    Serve hot and eat on its own, with some ripe fried plantain by the side or chilled coleslaw or both (one on each side)! Enjoy.
