💰Cheaper: peanuts

Walnuts provide similar richness, while peanuts are more economical.

cocoa powder

🥗Healthier: carob powder

💰Cheaper: unsweetened chocolate

Carob powder is a healthier alternative, while unsweetened chocolate can be used for richer flavor.

chicken broth

🥗Healthier: vegetable broth

💰Cheaper: water with bouillon

Vegetable broth reduces meat content, while bouillon is cost-effective.

Toast dried chiles in a dry skillet over medium heat until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.

Remove stems and seeds from the toasted chiles and soak them in hot water for 15-20 minutes.

Blend soaked chiles with tomatoes, onion, garlic, and a little soaking water until smooth.

Heat vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat and add the blended mole mixture.

Cook the mole for about 10-15 minutes, stirring frequently until thickened.

Add the turkey pieces to the pot, stirring to coat them with the mole.

Pour in chicken broth and bring to a simmer.

Cover and cook on low heat for about 1-2 hours, until turkey is tender.

Stir in cocoa powder, sugar, and salt to taste, adjusting flavor as needed.

Serve the turkey mole with warm corn tortillas and garnish with sesame seeds.
