Ingredients

  • 1- 15 oz. can no-salt diced tomatoes, drained
  • 2 large carrots, cut into 1/2- inch pieces
  • 1 green bell pepper, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup roughly chopped fresh cilantro, plus more for topping
  • 4 scallions, chopped, plus more for topping
  • 2 Tbl. peanut butter
  • 1 1/2 Tbl. low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 Tbl. ancho Chile powder
  • 2 tsp. unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 tsp. Chinese five-spice powder or ground cinnamon
  • 1 skinless, bone-in turkey breast (about 2 1/2 lbs.)
  • 18 corn tortillas

Preparation

Step 1

Combine the tomatoes, carrots, bell pepper, cilantro, scallions, peanut butter, soy sauce, Chile powder, cocoa powder and Chinese five-spice powder in a 6-quart slow cooker and stir to combine. Add the turkey and turn to coat. Cover and cook on low, 8 hours.

Remove the turkey and transfer to a large plate; shred the meat with 2 forks, discarding the bone. Return the shredded turkey to the slow cooker and stir to coat.

Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or in the microwave. Serve the turkey in the tortilla and top with more cilantro and scallions.
