Smoked turkey cuts cooked in herb based rich tomatoes and garlic sauce, and finished with shrimps, heart cabbage, bok choy and onions may be all you need for an afternoon or evening of pure bliss and laughter. With amazing blend of heat and flavours, it is a classic meal yet is one of the simplest recipes worth trying.
It simplicity allows the infusion of your choice of herbs and vegetables and an amazing pairing for cooed yam, cassava, pasta, spaghettini or a simple bowl of rice.
Not that the preparation time for this dish depends on whether you have some smoked turkey pieces hidden in the freezer. If not, simply some turkey pieces, coat with salt and throw in the oven to bake over medium heat for 2 hours. I would usually do this as part of bulk food prepping and keep in small bags in the freezer for later use.
