1.) Saute the chilies in 5 oz. of hot lard. Remove from the skillet and
place in a heavy saucepan. Cover with very hot water, bring to a boil,
and simmer until tender. Drain.
2.) In the same hot lard, saute
the garlic and the onions until the onions are translucent. Add the coarsely
chopped tortillas, molasses, raisins, almonds, pumpkin seeds, 1/2 the
sesame seeds, the anise seeds, cloves, cinnamon, peppercorns, chocolate,
and the tomatoes. Saute all the ingredients well, add the chilies and
cook for a few minutes more.
3.) Puree the mole mixture
with some of the turkey broth and strain. In a large pot, heat the remaining
lard. Add the mole mixture and simmer for 5 minutes. Season to taste with
salt. Add more turkey broth if needed, but the sauce should be thick.
Simmer for 20 minutes, add the turkey pieces, and simmer for 5 more minutes.
4.) Serve the mole from the
pot, sprinkled with the rest of the sesame seeds.
