Place the tomatoes, onion, garlic, chili, water, salt, and pepper in a pot and cook for 5 minutes or until all the ingredients are soft. Blend with a little cooking water and cilantro until you obtain a smooth sauce.

Sauté the sauce in a pot with a little oil for 5 minutes and adjust the seasoning. In a bowl, mash the potatoes with a potato masher, add the turkey, onion, breadcrumbs, egg, salt, and pepper. Mix and form patties. Set aside. In a skillet over medium heat, heat a little oil and fry the patties. Remove and set aside. Serve the turkey patties on a plate, drizzle with the sauce, and accompany with rice.
