Step 1
In a large bowl, toss together the turkey with vinegar and all the spices—chili powder, garlic powder, smoked and sweet paprika, salt, cumin, coriander, Mexican oregano, chipotle pepper, cinnamon, and cloves. Give everything a good mix until the spices are evenly spread throughout the meat. Cover the bowl and pop it in the fridge for at least an hour to let those flavors really soak in. When you're ready, you can either keep it chilled or freeze it for later use.
