Grandmother's Botswanan Stewed Turkey Salad

Assemble the ingredients: turkey, bay leaf, cumin, black pepper, potato, olive oil, yogurt.

Warm oil in a heavy pot. Add the turkey and cook until stewed.

Stir in the aromatics and spices — the backbone of Botswanan flavors.

Add the remaining ingredients and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until tender.

Taste and adjust seasoning; the flavor should deepen as it cooks.

Plate and serve with traditional Botswanan accompaniments such as bread, rice, or fresh herbs.
