Directions
Heat oil in a large, heavy-bottomed sauté pan and brown turkey on all sides.
Remove turkey and set aside. Add onion to pan and sauté until lightly browned.
Add garlic, sesame seeds, cinnamon, cloves, coriander, ground chile and chopped cilantro; cook over moderate heat for 5 minutes.
Add stock and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Pour mixture into a blender or food processor.
Add peanut butter, tomato paste, raisins and chocolate and process until smooth.
Return sauce to pan, add reserved turkey and simmer, covered, until tender, about 35 minutes.
Thin with stock as necessary.
Season with salt and pepper.
Arrange turkey on a warm platter.
Whisk sauce until smooth and pour over turkey.
Garnish with red pepper strips, warm tortillas and fresh cilantro sprigs.
