Leftover Turkey Carnitas Recipe!

Leftover Turkey Carnitas Recipe! This easy & tasty recipe from Serious Eats and The Food Lab, please to enjoy! Ingredients: Any amount leftover cooked dark-meat turkey 1 orange, preferably sour, per pound of leftover turkey meat 1 medium onion, about 6 ounces per pound of leftover turkey meat 2 bay leaves per pound of leftover turkey meat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, chicken fat, turkey fat, or duck fat per pound of leftover turkey meat Kosher salt Directions: Combine turkey (with bones if available), orange, onion, and bay leaf in a pot that fits them snugly. Add enough water to cover halfway. Cover and bring to a boil, then reduce to a bare simmer and cook until turkey is fall-off-the-bone tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Discard orange, onion, and bay leaves and drain turkey well. Shred turkey and discard bones. Heat oil or fat in a cast iron or nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add turkey and spread into an even layer. Cook, without moving, until meat is well browned and crisp on the bottom, about 5 minutes. Stir turkey to incorporate the crisp bits and introduce new soft bits to the bottom. Continue this process until the turkey is as crisp as you like it (I like mine quite crisp). Season with salt. Turkey carnitas can be used in place of pork carnitas in any recipe. Try them in a taco with onion, cilantro, and lime juice; on top of nachos; or in a burrito or quesadilla.
