01
Step 1
Start by combining the ground turkey, 1 cup of water, chopped onion, cloves, sage, and cinnamon in a saucepan. Bring everything to a boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer gently for about 45 minutes. Every now and then, use a spatula to mash the mixture, helping it break down and thicken as it cooks. Once it’s done, take the pan off the heat.

Step 2
While the turkey is cooking, mix the gelatin into the remaining ½ cup of water until it’s fully dissolved. Stir this gelatin mixture into the warm turkey mixture, making sure it’s well combined.
