Escabeche Turkey with Pickled Vegetables
- 1 sweet yellow bell pepper, oil-roasted, peeled, cored, and seeded (page 154)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or olive oil (preferably Spanish)
- 1 1/4 pounds boneless, skinless turkey breast, cut into 1/3-inch by 2 1/2-inch strips
- 2 cups low-sodium chicken stock
- Escabeche Vegetables for Turkey (page 158)
- 8 (5 1/2-inch) soft white corn tortillas (page 13), for serving
- Garnish: Iceberg Lettuce Garnish (page 144), chopped fresh cilantro leaves, whole fresh basil or tarragon leaves, or small fennel fronds
- Cut the prepared sweet yellow bell pepper into 1/4-inch-thick strips (rajas); set aside.
- In a large, heavy, nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium heat.
- Add the turkey strips and lightly sear on both sides.
- Add the stock and pickled vegetables (with all their liquid) to the pan and cook until the liquid has reduced to one-fourth of its original volume, about 20 minutes.
- Transfer the contents of the pan to a large bowl.
- When the turkey has cooled enough, shred the meat with your hands into long, 1/4-inch-wide strips.
- Discard the remaining liquid and seasonings from the bowl.
- To serve, lay the tortillas side by side, open face and overlapping on a platter.
- Divide the lettuce and filling equally between the tortillas and top with salsa and garnish.
- Grab, fold, and eat right away.
- Or build your own taco: lay a tortilla, open face, in one hand.
- Spoon on some lettuce and filling, top with salsa and garnish, fold, and eat right away.
