I N G R E D I E N T S

4 cups uncooked  Turkey cut into 1-inch chunks
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 medium onions, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2/3 cups canned tomatoes drained
3 tablespoons tomato paste
2 cinnamon sticks, broken in half
2 medium lemons, coarsely chopped (skin and all)
1 1/2 teaspoons oregano
1/8 teaspoon allspice
3 cups turkey stock
1/2 cups flour
3 tablespoons olive oil
salt and pepper and to taste
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

D I R E C T I O N S

In large sauce pan, heat 3 tablespoons olive oil and saute onion until golden. Stir in garlic and cook an additional minute. Reduce heat and stir in tomatoes, tomato paste, cinnamon sticks, chopped lemons, oregano and all spice. Simmer about 5 minutes. Add stock, cover and simmer, for 1 1/4 hours. While sauce is simmering, heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in large skillet over high heat. Dredge turkey pieces in flour, shake off excess, and quickly stir-fry in small batches until lightly browned. Do not overcook. Remove from heat and set aside. Add turkey to sauce and simmer uncovered an additional 15 minutes. Adjust seasonings to taste and remove lemon pieces and cinnamon sticks. Serve over your favorite Rice or pasta and garnish with Parmesan cheese. Spinach noodles make this a very colorful dish.

If you attempt to live your life without ever being hurt, you won't be able to live at all, except perhaps in a very softly padded cell.
