Mole de Pavo (Dave's Version)

Hey, it's Dave. Not much to report today, just whipped up a simple dinner. Found a recipe for mole de pavo online – seemed alright, and it's basically just throwing things in a pot. Figured I'd share. It's not my usual thing, but hey, gotta try new stuff. It's a bit more involved than my usual oven-and-forget meals, but it's a one-pot thing, so that's a plus. Hope you like it.

Mole de Pavo (Dave's Version)

This is a simplified version. Don't expect authentic, just... edible.

  • Turkey Breast (about 1.5 lbs)
  • Chicken Broth (carton)
  • Dried Chiles (ancho, pasilla - about 6-8 total)
  • Corn Tortillas (a few, just to thicken)
  1. Poach the turkey breast in the chicken broth until cooked through. Shred the meat.
  2. Rehydrate the dried chiles by soaking them in hot water for about 30 minutes.
  3. Blend the rehydrated chiles (remove seeds for less heat) with a little of the soaking water and the corn tortillas until you get a paste.
  4. Mix the shredded turkey with the chile paste and some of the poaching broth. Simmer for about 20 minutes.
