General Ingredients

  • 200 grams frozen cranberries (use fresh cranberries if you get them)
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 1 star anise

Instructions
 

  • Add frozen cranberries, a cinnamon stick, star anise, cloves, and cardamom to a saucepan.
  • Add in the Birria seasoning and dried chilies. Deglaze the pan by adding 2 cups of water to the pot. Cover and bring to a boil.
  • Add the seared turkey thighs back to the pot. Cover and cook for 10 minutes.
  • After this, remove the turkey from the pot and set it aside.
  • Using an immersion blender, blend the ingredients in the pot until smooth.
  • Add 4 cups of water, and season with salt to taste.
  • Return the turkey to the pot, cover it, and cook for 10 minutes until tender.
  • Remove the turkey from the pot and shred the meat using two forks. Then chop finely with a sharp knife.
  • Add some consommé to keep the turkey meat moist.
  • Heat the tortillas in a dry pan over medium heat to assemble the tacos.
  • Add some shredded Oaxaca cheese to the tortilla, followed by some shredded turkey meat.
  • Spoon more consommé over the turkey and top with chopped onion and cilantro.
  • Turn the heat off and serve the tacos with additional consommé on the side. Squeeze a bit of lime on top for extra zing!
