Steps:
- Make the turkey: Put the turkey, onion, celery, cilantro sprigs, cloves, allspice, star anise, peppercorns and 1 teaspoon salt in a large pot; add cold water to cover. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium low and simmer until very tender, about 1 hour, 30 minutes. Remove the turkey with tongs and transfer to a plate to cool slightly. Strain the broth through a fine-mesh sieve into a large measuring cup or bowl. You should have about 8 cups broth; if you have more, simmer until reduced to 8 cups. Skim the fat off the surface. Remove the turkey skin; refrigerate the meat until ready to use. (The turkey and broth can be made 1 day ahead; cover and refrigerate.)
- Make the mole: Preheat the broiler. Put the tomatillos, tomatoes, garlic and onion on a rimmed baking sheet. Broil, turning, until charred, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a bowl to cool. Remove the skins from the tomatoes and garlic.
- Heat 1/4 cup vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the ancho and pasilla chiles in batches, turning, until softened, 30 to 45 seconds; transfer to a bowl. Fry the tortilla in the hot oil, turning, until browned, 4 minutes; add to the bowl with the chiles. Cover with water and soak 30 minutes, then drain. Add the chiles and tortilla to the bowl with the tomatillo mixture and set aside.
- Meanwhile, discard the oil in the skillet and wipe clean. Heat another 1/4 cup vegetable oil in the same skillet over medium-high heat. Add the almonds and fry, stirring, until golden, 3 minutes. Add the raisins and stir until plump, 30 seconds; transfer to a bowl using a slotted spoon. Add the pepitas and fry, stirring, until they begin to pop, 2 minutes; transfer to the bowl with the almonds.
- Discard the oil in the skillet and wipe clean. Heat the skillet over medium heat. Add the sesame seeds and toast, stirring, until golden, about 3 minutes; transfer to a clean bowl to cool. Add 1 heaping tablespoon of the ancho chile seeds, the allspice, peppercorns, cloves, star anise and cinnamon stick to the skillet and toast, stirring, 2 minutes; transfer to the bowl with the sesame seeds and let cool. Grind the sesame-spice mixture in a spice grinder to make a fine powder.
- Put the fried almonds, raisins, pepitas, sesame-spice powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 2 cups of the reserved turkey broth in a blender and blend until smooth; transfer to a bowl. Working in batches, blend the broiled vegetables, fried chiles and tortilla, 1 teaspoon salt and 2 cups turkey broth until smooth.
- Heat the remaining 1/4 cup vegetable oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the pureed chile mixture and cook, stirring frequently, until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes (be careful-the mixture will spatter). Stir in the ground almond mixture and 2 cups turkey broth; bring to a simmer over medium-low heat. Stir in the chocolate until melted. Add the turkey thighs and simmer until heated through, about 30 minutes. The mole should be the consistency of gravy; thin with more broth, if necessary. Season with salt. Serve with rice and tortillas.
PAVO MOLE (TURKEY MOLE)
Labor-intensive, messy, involved. Using earthy and ancient 'xocolatl' (chocolate), this mole sauce is equally good with chicken. Working in a well-ventilated kitchen is highly recommended. Mop the kitchen floor after preparing the mole as there is no point in cleaning the kitchen beforehand. Best to prepare this in an "assembly line" manner having your ingredients and utensils ready; reading through the recipe directions thoroughly before starting.

Steps:
- *NOTE: the chilies need to be toasted, seeds, deveined and rinsed.
- Toasting Dried Chilies: Heat an ungreased heavy skillet (I use cast iron) over medium heat. Place the chilies on the grill in single layer. Cook the chilies 1 to 3 minutes until the color changes slightly (do not burn) and the chilies become fragrant but not harsh smelling. As they toast, press down on them with a spatula, and turn the chilies occasionally. Set aside to cool. When the chilies are cool enough to handle but still pliable, cut each chile open lengthwise with scissors. Carefully remove the seeds and the veins (membrane).
- Place the prepared dried chilies in a medium bowl and cover with the boiling water. Let stand 1 hour.
- Toast the sesame seeds in a dry, clean skillet over medium heat. Toast about 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove seeds from heat.
- Combine the whole clove, cinnamon stick, coriander seeds and anise seeds in the same skillet and toast on medium heat about 1 minute. The spices will start to change color and become fragrant. Do not burn. Remove from skillet.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat until hot. Add the almonds. Cook and stir about 2-3 minutes until brown. Do not burn. Remove the nuts with a slotted spoon to a paper towel and drain.
- Next add the raisins to the same skillet. Cook and stir 30 seconds or until puffed up. Remove with slotted spoon.
- Sprinkle the turkey pieces with salt. Cook the poultry in the same skillet over medium heat for about 10 minutes or until browned, turning once. Remove to plate. Remove all but 2 tablespoons of the oil from the skillet.
- In a blender place the raisins, processing until finely ground. Coarsely chop the almonds and add to blender. Process until finely ground. Add the onion, garlic and process until finely ground.
- In an electric spice grinder process 2 tablespoons of the sesame seeds in on/off pulses. Add the sesame seeds to the blender.
- Process the clove mixture in the electric spice grinder to a fine powder; add to blender.
- Add the chilies, 1/3 cup of the soaking liquid and the tomato paste to blender. Process until smooth. If too thick, add about 1 teaspoon of the soaking liquid at one time until the blender does not labor and mixture blends easily. **WARNING: Avoid inhaling the ingredients in the blender. Wear a mask, especially if you have a weak respiratory system. Discard the soaking liquid.
- Coarsely chop the chocolate with a knife or grate.
- Reheat the oil in skillet over medium heat again until hot. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the chile mixture. Cook and stir for 5 minutes. Add the chocolate; cook and stir 2 minutes or until the chocolate is melted. Gradually stir in the stock. Cook and stir the chile mixture for 5 minutes.
- Return turkey to the skillet. Reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 45 minutes or until the turkey is tender and juices run clear. Turn the turkey once or twice during simmering. Sprinkle the remaining sesame seeds over the turkey pieces just before serving. Garnish, if desired with fresh cilantro.

MOLE CON PAVO (MOLE WITH TURKEY)
A great way to use up leftover turkey! This is a favorite at our house, and we hope you enjoy it as well! Enjoying this dish needs an acquired taste for most people, but when I had it the first time, I fell in love with it. My hubby at first didn't like it at all, but the second time he had it he became addicted to it.

Steps:
- For turkey:
- Combine all ingredients in large pot. Bring to boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until turkey is just cooked through, skimming foam, about 35 minutes. Transfer turkey to bowl; cover and chill. Strain and reserve broth in pot.
- For chiles:
- Heat 1/2 cup lard in large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, fry all chiles until beginning to blister and change color, about 15 seconds per side (do not burn). Using tongs and shaking off excess lard, transfer chiles to another large pot. Add 4 cups reserved turkey broth; bring to boil. Reduce heat; simmer uncovered until chiles are very soft, about 35 minutes. Strain liquid into 4-cup measuring cup; add enough reserved turkey broth to measure 4 cups. Chop chiles. Working in batches, puree chiles and 4 cups chile broth in blender until smooth.
- Heat remaining 1/2 cup lard in same pot over medium heat until almost smoking. Press chile puree through large mesh strainer into pot (mixture will sputter and bubble vigorously). Stir until puree thickens enough to form path on bottom of pot when wooden spoon is drawn across, about 15 minutes. Remove chile puree from heat.
- For nuts and seeds:
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add almonds and stir until color deepens, about 1 minute. Add pecans and peanuts; stir 1 minute. Add pepitas; stir 30 seconds. Transfer to blender. Add sesame seeds to skillet; stir 1 minute. Transfer 2 tablespoons sesame seeds to small bowl and reserve for garnish. Place remaining 1 tablespoon sesame seeds in blender with nuts. Add 1/2 cup reserved turkey broth and blend until thick puree forms. Add nut-and-seed puree to pot with chile puree. Cook over very low heat, stirring often, while preparing fruits.
- For fruits:
- Heat 1/4 cup oil in same skillet over high heat. Add plantain and sauté until golden, about 3 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer to paper towels. Add tomatillos and tomatoes to skillet; sauté until slightly softened, mashing with fork. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer until thickened, stirring often, about 25 minutes. Add raisins and plantain; simmer 10 minutes, stirring often. Cool slightly.
- Working in batches, puree tomatillo mixture in blender with 2 cups reserved turkey broth. Strain mixture through sieve into chile-nut puree, pressing on solids to extract as much mixture as possible; discard solids in sieve. Continue cooking puree over very low heat while preparing flavorings, stirring often.
- For flavorings:
- Cook onion and garlic cloves in dry heavy medium skillet over medium heat until beginning to brown and soften, turning often, about 15 minutes. Cool slightly. Coarsely chop onion; peel garlic. Place in blender.
- Stir cloves in same skillet over medium-high heat until fragrant, about 20 seconds. Transfer cloves to spice mill or coffee grinder; add peppercorns and next 7 ingredients. Grind finely. Add to blender. Add 1 cup reserved turkey broth; blend until smooth. Stir spice mixture into chile-nut puree. Simmer mole over very low heat 30 minutes to blend flavors while preparing thickeners, stirring often (mole will bubble thickly).
- For thickeners:
- Heat 1 1/2 tablespoons oil in medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add bread slice; fry until golden, about 1 1/2 minutes per side. Transfer to blender. Add 1 1/2 tablespoons oil and tortillas to skillet; sauté 2 minutes. Transfer to blender with bread. Add 2 cups reserved turkey broth; blend until smooth. Add to mole; simmer 10 minutes.
- Add chocolate and piloncillo to mole; simmer over low heat 20 minutes, stirring often, scraping bottom of pot and adding more turkey broth (or chicken broth if necessary) by 1/2 cupfuls if mole is too thick (up to 2 cups more broth may be needed). Season with salt. Continue simmering over low heat until streaks of oil form on mole surface, about 10 minutes longer. (Can be made 3 days ahead. Cool slightly. Chill uncovered until cold, then cover and keep refrigerated. Rewarm over low heat, stirring and adding more broth if desired, before continuing.)
- Cut turkey into 1/3-inch-thick slices. Add to hot mole; simmer until turkey is heated through, about 10 minutes. Arrange turkey slices on platter. Spoon mole over; sprinkle with sesame seeds.
- *Mexican cinnamon sticks with a delicate, floral flavor.
- **Mexican raw sugar shaped into hard cones. Smaller chunks are sometimes labeled panocha. If neither is available, substitute an equal weight of packed dark brown sugar.
