    It's approaching the time when Americans overindulge in turkey meat. Thanksgiving turkeys are usually prepared using the blandest possible roasting recipes to please large crowds, and the lack of flavor makes it impossible to keep choking down leftovers after a few days.

    Mole' was always my favorite preparation for turkey - it's got millennia of traditional experiment going into creating amazing layered flavors.

    So, in celebration of the holiday celebrating the event where indigenous peoples were generous to starving colonists who subsequently robbed them blind, here's how to make a good mole' sauce (the product of another colonized people) to put on your leftover turkey.

    Molé is one of my favorite sauces and I’ve never tried making it from scratch. I’ll definitely try over the winter with all of the extra turkeys for sale.
