Making the most of the holidays is so important to me because my family loves the holidays.  Growing up I with my moms side of the family was great and it was big. Every weekend there was a birthday party,  a wedding, quinceañera (15 birthday kind of like a sweet sixteen), or just a get together.  We ate all sorts of Mexican dishes like mole, birria, chile colorado, carme asada and more much more.  Mole is one of my favorite things on that list and luckily my husbands too!

Just happens that I had bought extra turkeys during the thanksgiving sale and my mom makes a mean turkey with mole dish so I decided to take a chance.  Now I've told y'all how much I love my InstaPot so I knew I was going to use it to cut time Big time the only problem was fitting this huge almost 13 pound  bird in it so I decided to cut it into pieces threw half  the turkey in it some salt (tbsp), half onion, four cloves of garlic, little water (1 cup I needed the broth) put it on for 20 minutes and let it release on its own.

Turkey was done so fast!! I made the second batch the same and decided to freeze it to make something else for later I'm thinking turkey tamales, cause why not?! I strained the broth both times which yielded about 4 cups each time which I strained  and put in mason jars.  I used one batch of this and set my onions and garlic aside as well to use for my sauce.  I shredded the turkey I was using and set that aside while I made my sauce.

I also had bought 1 can of ground mole at Food Lion last week it is in the Hispanic/ethnic food section.






I opened that bad boy up blended it with my onions, garlic and broth I set aside. I also had crisped but not charred a corn tortilla meanwhile on the stove top over the fire (the way my grandma does) and added that in to my blender it gives it a good flavor trust me you can also add a spoonful of almond butter/peanut butter to this at this time. Once it was all blended smooth I added it to my large pot then added my shredded turkey and let it all come to a boil then simmered for a couple minutes.  It was so good and so darn easy tasted like my grandmas mole!

I didn't get a pic but here is what it looked like except my turkey was shredded.
