Preparation

Step 1

Add the oil and onion to the slow cooker; cover and cook on high for 30 minutes or until the onion just begins to brown. Stir in the garlic and tomato paste; cover and cook for 15 more minutes.

Stir in diced tomatoes into the onion mixture. Remove the stem and seeds from the dried chili; snip it into small pieces and add it to the cooker along with the chocolate pieces, sesame seeds, almonds and broth. Stir to combine. Add the turkey; cover and cook on low for 8 hours.

Remove the turkey legs; allow to cool enough to remove the meat from the bones.

Use an immersion blender to puree the more sauce in the slow cooker. Taste for seasoning and add salt, pepper and cinnamon if desired. Stir turkey into the sauce.
