I’m sharing my family’s epitome of Mexican-American traditions: the Turkey Torta after the thanksgiving dinner.
Here’s my moms family recipe for turkey Tortas:
Turkey Torta Ingredients
2+ lbs of diced turkey
2 Tbsp of oil or pork fat
1/2 onion diced
2 garlic cloves diced
1 Tbsp adobo seasoning (or seasoned salt)
1 Tbsp Cumin
1 Tbsp original @mrsdashrecipes
Salt to taste ( taste as you go, probably doesn’t need it but ayá tú- you do you ;)
Turkey Torta Toppings :
Refried beans
Muenster cheese
Lettuce
Avocado
Sliced onion
Sliced Tomato
Pickled jalapeños
Crema Mexicana
Salsa roja (homemade version recipe is posted)
How to make Turkey Tortas:
💢Preheat oven to 400 degrees
♨️On a hot skillet, sauté diced onion over olive oil or pork fat; when translucent, add garlic. After a few minutes, add turkey & spices and combine thoroughly. When mixture is aromatic, lower heat and turn off after 2 minutes.
Butter top and bottom of bolillos.
On bottom half, spread refried beans layer. Place a scoop of Turkey over the beans and top with cheese.
💢Bake at 350 for 5-7 min or until cheese melts. (For our big family, I line a full size baking sheet with 8 Tortas at a time).
🥗When cheese is melted, I add plain or chipotle Mayo on the top lid. Then, I add fresh toppings. It’s not god if it’s not messy ;) Forks encouraged for the goodness salad left on your plate ✨

¡Provecho!
