Weeknight Laotian Pan-Fried Turkey Pastry

Assemble the ingredients: turkey, flour, chili, bay leaf, potato, parsley, yogurt.

Warm oil in a heavy pot. Add the turkey and cook until pan-fried.

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