Add salt to taste.

After about 15 minutes, remove the broth and fry the seasoned turkey until browned, adding a little water as needed to prevent burning.

Clean the okra by scrubbing it with your thumb under water, cutting off the head and tail, and slicing it slightly to avoid a gooey texture.

Add the cleaned okra to the pot along with carrots, red bell pepper, and watercress.

Add tomato paste, 1 cube of Maggi, and a whole carbonaro pepper to the pot.

Cover the pot and let it boil for about 30 to 35 minutes without stirring to prevent breaking the okra.
