Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Prepare the turkey by seasoning it with salt, pepper, and lime juice.

Roast the turkey in the oven until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (about 2-3 hours).

While the turkey is roasting, boil the corn until tender, then drain.

Blend the boiled corn with tomatoes, bell peppers, onions, and garlic until smooth.

Heat vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat.

Pour the blended mixture into the pot and cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add coriander, cumin, and salt to the mixture, adjusting seasoning to taste.

In a separate pot, prepare chicken broth and keep warm.

Once the turkey is done, let it rest for 15 minutes before carving.

Combine the turkey pieces with the corn sauce in the pot, adding chicken broth as needed for consistency.

Serve the pepián hot, garnished with chopped cilantro and lime wedges.

Accompany with fried plantains and slices of avocado.
