8 pound turkey
6 cups water
3 teaspoons salt
1 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup chopped onions
3 cloves garlic
1 cup diced green peppers
2 slices white toast
1 cup almonds
1 & 1/2 cups peeled diced tomatoes
3 tablespoons sesame seeds
2 squares (ounces) unsweetened chocolate
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Have the turkey cut into serving-sized pieces.  Bring the water and 1 & 1/2 teaspoons salt to a boil; add the turkey.  Cover, and cook over low heat 45 minutes.  Drain, reserving 2 cups broth.

Heat half the oil in a casserole or Dutch oven; brown the turkey in it.  In a blender or food chopper grind the onions, garlic, green peppers, toast, almonds, tomatoes, sesame seeds, and chocolate.  Blend in the cinnamon, coriander, chili powder and remaining salt.

Heat the remaining oil, and cook the spice mixture in it for 5 minutes, stirring constantly.  Spread over the turkey and add the reserved broth.  Cook over low heat 45 minutes or until the turkey is tender, stirring occasionally.
