I saw this recipe from some relatives of my grandmother who live in Kanasin. It is simply delicious thanks to the golden salbutes and the spiciness of the black recado, which is the star of this dish. Here in Mérida, it is very common to have this dish for breakfast on Sundays or on special occasions accompanied by a local fresh orange drink. What I like about this dish is its versatility, as it is typical to eat it as a meal, in tacos, salbutes, and tortas. I hope you enjoy it! Regards.

Cook the turkey, seasoning to taste, separate the pieces, and continue boiling the broth, adding the black recado and stirring until completely dissolved. *Reserve a pinch of black recado for step two* Dissolve the pinch of recado and mix it perfectly with the ground meat to form medium-sized meatballs, placing a whole boiled egg in the center. Add them to the boiling broth, remove them once cooked, and set aside.
