Well, it's a snow day today so an unexpected day off is an excuse to cook something involved. I had some pops brined smoked turkey in the freezer and all the other necessary ingredients.
So here goes. Made the filling first
Onions, red peppers, jalapeños, garlic, cinnamon, cumin, and oregano sautéed for a few minutes in some olive oil:
Added the turkey and some fresh cilantro:
Then added some white wine and cooked till the liquid was absorbed:
Don't have pictures of the masa dough but the recipe I used said it should be the consistency of play dough but when prepares as stated the dough was watery. Other recipes said barely wet (Foamheart) so this is the part that scares me. I might have messed up the dough. I ended up adding more masa until I got the consistency that I felt comfortable with.
So the construction begins
Tied up. I didn't have the patience to pieces of the husk to tie so I just used string.
Recipe said it yielded 12 and I added more masa and still only got 10. Might have overstuffed some of them.
Here they are ready to steam:
Be back in about an hour and half!
