Description

Tex-mex-inspired comfort food: tender turkey thigh paired with cassava root, romaine lettuce and red bell pepper and fettuccine, finished with sorrel and epazote and a hit of cayenne pepper. 1. Pat the turkey thigh dry and season with sea salt, cayenne pepper. 2. Heat walnut oil in a heavy pan and grill the turkey thigh until it develops a deep golden crust, about 22 minutes. 3. Add cassava root, romaine lettuce and red bell pepper to the pan and cook until just tender, stirring in sorrel and epazote for fragrance. 4. Cook the fettuccine separately according to type until tender, then combine with the pan juices. 5. Rest briefly, taste, and adjust seasoning before serving hot.
