My thoughts:

Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 pop dish at Christmas fourth dimension (or Thanksgiving for many US domicile Salvadorian families), Salvadorian turkey is a delicious process but a lot of work. First yous slather the turkey inward a mixture of spices together with mustard together with allow it marinate for hours. Then, yous simmer it inward a rich sauce until it is virtually falling off the os hence the sauce is drained, simmered in ane lawsuit again until it reduces hence drizzled over the turkey again. The leftovers are oftentimes served equally sandwiches the adjacent day. I've ever wanted to brand a Salvadorian mode turkey, Pavo Salvadoreño, at Thanksgiving but a to a greater extent than traditional roasted turkey ordinarily wins out. Last twelvemonth I got to thinking that at that spot was no argue I couldn't transform my leftover roasted turkey into Panes con Pavo. I decided to brand a sauce that used the same flavors together with ingredients together with simmer the cooked turkey inward it rather than starting from raw turkey. Great idea, right? However, I got hence caught upwardly making other Thanksgiving leftover recipes (they are some of my favorites to practice each year!) that I ran out of turkey earlier I got to brand the sandwiches. I saved my notes together with figured I'd larn some it eventually. Then simply a few weeks agone Old El Paso® got inward impact alongside me looking for a novel fun agency to role upwardly leftover Thanksgiving turkey; I had turkey leftover from Faux Thanksgiving hence the stars in conclusion aligned. Turkey sandwiches for all! I used their light-green chiles inward the sauce together with they added a peppery flavour but non a ton of heat, which was perfect because Pavo Salvadoreño is non a super spicy dish. I enjoyed my sandwich plain, but traditional toppings include sliced radishes, shredded cabbage or lettuce, tomato plant slices together with watercress.
