Preparation for Turkey Mole/Mole de Guajolote
1. Heat the cooking oil in a large, ovenproof pan. Brown the turkey pieces. Cover the pan and put it in the oven at 325ºF for 40 to 60 minutes,
until the turkey is tender.
2. Remove the turkey pieces to a plate. Pour the pan juices into a large heat-proof measuring cup. Use a turkey baster to remove the fat that floats to the top of the cup.
3. Add enough broth to make 2 1/2 c. of liquid. Pour the liquid back into the pan and add the mole paste. Stir the mixture until all lumps are dissolved.
4. Cook the sauce over medium heat,stirring constantly, until it becomes
thick. Use your fingers to shred the turkey into bite-sized pieces. Put the
turkey back in the pan and spoon the sauce over them. Lower the heat and cook gently for 10 minutes. Serve the mole with rice.
