Traditional Panamanian Sautéed Turkey Fritters

Assemble the ingredients: turkey, yogurt, parsley, water, bay leaf, tomato, flour.

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

Stir in the aromatics and spices — the backbone of Panamanian 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 Panamanian accompaniments such as bread, rice, or fresh herbs.
