Instructions
-
Season the turkey: in a large bowl, combine the turkey with 1 tbsp olive oil, ginger, turmeric, paprika, cumin, cinnamon, salt and pepper. Let it marinate for 15 to 30 minutes if possible.
-
Brown the base: in a Dutch oven or a large, deep skillet, heat the remaining oil. Add the onions and sauté for 5 to 7 minutes, until softened. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
-
Sear the turkey: add the turkey pieces and brown them lightly on all sides.

Simmer, add: the broth, half of the chopped cilantro and parsley, the preserved lemon. Cover and simmer over low heat for about 35 to 45 minutes, until the turkey is very tender.
-
Finish the tagine. Add the olives during the last 10 minutes of cooking. Taste and adjust the salt. Be careful: the preserved lemon and olives are already quite salty.
-
Serve. Add the remaining fresh herbs on top. Serve with: couscous, Moroccan bread, rice, or steamed potatoes.
