Time 1h32m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 29

6 to 8 turkey thighs (3/4 pound each)
1/2 large white onion
2 stalks celery, quartered
1 large bunch cilantro (about 1 cup sprigs)
2 whole cloves
4 allspice berries
1/4 star anise pod (break off a point)
5 black peppercorns
Kosher salt
4 medium tomatillos, husked
2 medium tomatoes
4 cloves garlic, unpeeled
1/2 large white onion
3/4 cup vegetable oil or lard
8 dried ancho chiles, stemmed and seeded (seeds reserved)
8 dried pasilla chiles, stemmed and seeded
1 corn tortilla, plus more for serving (optional)
1/2 cup raw almonds, chopped
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup pepitas (hulled pumpkin seeds)
4 tablespoons sesame seeds, plus more for topping
5 allspice berries
5 black peppercorns
2 whole cloves
Kosher salt
6 ounces sweet Mexican drinking chocolate, chopped
Cooked rice, for serving
1/4 star anise pod (break off a point)
1 1-inch piece cinnamon stick

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.

TURKEY MOLE SAUCE



Turkey Mole Sauce image

Use this classic Mexican mole sauce to marinate the Mole-Roasted Turkey with Masa Stuffing and Chile Gravy . You'll be left with plenty of extra, which can be served alongside the turkey or frozen for later use. (Try it on turkey sandwiches, roasted chicken, or as a sauce for turkey or chicken tamales.)

Yield Makes about 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 (15-ounce) can chopped tomatoes, drained
1 small, firm white roll, toasted and torn into small pieces
3 ounces Mexican chocolate (such as Ibarra), chopped
1/4 cup sesame seeds, toasted
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon whole coriander seeds, toasted
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
About 1/2 cup vegetable oil
16 dried mulato chiles, stemmed, seeded, and deveined (about 8 ounces)
6 pasilla chiles, stemmed, seeded, and deveined (about 2 ounces)
4 ancho chiles, stemmed, seeded, and deveined (about 3 ounces)
1/2 cup whole almonds
1/2 cup raisins
1 small onion, roughly chopped
2 cloves garlic, sliced
2 cups Quick Turkey Stock
1 chipotle chile (canned, from 1 can chipotle chiles in adobo sauce; reserve sauce and remaining chiles for another use)
1 tablespoon (packed) dark brown sugar
1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt

Steps:

  • In large bowl, combine tomatoes, bread, chocolate, sesame seeds, cinnamon, coriander seeds, black pepper, and cloves. Set aside.
  • In large, heavy skillet over moderately high heat, heat 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Working in about 5 batches and adding 1 tablespoon oil between each batch, fry mulato, pasilla, and ancho chiles until beginning to blister and change color, about 15 seconds per side (do not burn). Using tongs and shaking off excess oil, transfer chiles to large bowl. Add boiling water to cover and let soak until softened, about 45 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in same skillet over moderately high heat, heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add almonds and sauté until golden, about 4 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer to paper towel-lined plate, reserving oil. Add raisins to oil in skillet and sauté until plump, about 2 minutes. Transfer to paper towel-lined plate, again reserving oil. Add onion and garlic to skillet and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Remove skillet from heat.
  • Transfer onion, garlic, almonds, and raisins to bowl with tomato mixture. Add 1/2 cup stock. Transfer mixture to food processor and purée until smooth. Return to skillet and set aside.
  • When chiles have softened, drain, pat dry, and transfer to food processor. Add chipotle and 1/2 cup stock and purée until smooth.
  • Transfer chile mixture to skillet with tomato mixture. Stir in remaining 1 cup stock, brown sugar, and salt. Set over moderately high heat and bring to simmer, then reduce heat to moderately low and simmer, uncovered, 10 minutes. Let cool, then use to coat turkey or store in refrigerator up to 3 days.
