Postup
Krok za krokem
- 1
Place the turkey pieces in a large bowl.
Přibližně 1 min
- 2
Add the lime juice, orange juice, minced garlic, chopped scotch bonnet pepper, chopped fresh thyme, chopped green onion, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the turkey.
Přibližně 5 min
Poznámka kuchaře: Wear gloves when handling scotch bonnet peppers to avoid skin irritation.
- 3
Mix well to ensure all turkey pieces are coated with the marinade.
Přibližně 2 min
- 4
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
Přibližně 2 h
- 5
Transfer the marinated turkey and all the marinade liquid to a large pot.
Přibližně 1 min
- 6
Add the water to the pot.
- 7
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until the turkey is tender.
Přibližně 30 min
Poznámka kuchaře: The turkey should be cooked through but not falling apart.
- 8
Remove the turkey pieces from the pot with a slotted spoon and set them aside on a plate.
Přibližně 2 min
Poznámka kuchaře: Discard the cooking liquid or save it for another use, like a broth base.
- 9
Heat the vegetable oil in a large heavy-bottomed pan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Přibližně 3 min
Poznámka kuchaře: The oil should be hot enough to sizzle when a piece of turkey is added, around 350°F (175°C).
- 10
Carefully add the cooked turkey pieces to the hot oil in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.
Přibližně 2 min
Poznámka kuchaře: Overcrowding will lower the oil temperature and result in steamed, rather than crispy, turkey.
- 11
Fry the turkey for about 5-7 minutes per batch, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy on all sides.
Přibližně 7 min
Poznámka kuchaře: Adjust heat as needed to prevent burning while ensuring even browning.
- 12
Remove the fried turkey pieces with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Přibližně 1 min
- 13
Serve hot, traditionally with fried plantains or rice and beans.
