👨‍🍳 조리법

1
In a large pot, combine the turkey pieces with enough water to cover. Add salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 1.5 hours, or until the turkey is very tender.
⏱️ 1 hour 30 minutes
2
While the turkey is cooking, prepare the sauce. In a blender, combine chopped onions, tomatoes, garlic, bell pepper, achiote, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper. Add about 1 cup of the turkey cooking liquid.
💡 전문가 팁: Blend until smooth.
3
Once the turkey is tender, remove it from the pot. Strain the cooking liquid and reserve about 2 cups.
4
Shred the cooked turkey meat using two forks or your hands. Place the shredded turkey back into the pot.
💡 전문가 팁: Ensure no bones are left in the shredded meat.
5
Pour the blended sauce over the shredded turkey. Add about 1.5 cups of the reserved turkey cooking liquid. Stir well to coat the turkey evenly.
6
Simmer the turkey in the sauce over low heat for another 30-45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened and the flavors have melded.
⏱️ 30-45 minutes
💡 전문가 팁: The turkey should be very tender and coated in a rich, flavorful sauce.
7
To assemble the sandwiches, slice the Salvadoran rolls horizontally. Spread a generous amount of mayonnaise on the bottom half.
8
Pile a generous portion of the saucy shredded turkey onto the bottom half of the roll.
💡 전문가 팁: Ensure you get plenty of the delicious sauce with the turkey.
9
Top with shredded lettuce, sliced tomatoes, and pickled onions. Place the top half of the roll on top.
