1

Take the turkey out of the freezer and defrost it in the refrigerator for 4 days.

Add apple cider vinegar and salt to the turkey and let it sit for 5-10 minutes.

4

Chop the turkey into pieces for easier cooking and place it in boiling water.

In a saucepan, heat oil and sauté two Roma tomatoes, a piece of green chili, and half of a small onion.

Cook the cabbage by rinsing it with hot water or sautéing it, stirring occasionally.

Prepare the turkey pieces, ensuring they are not too thick or thin, and optionally remove the skin.
