Steps:
- Soak ancho or other mild chili in hot water to cover. Once softened, remove from water, and remove stems and seeds. Set aside.
- Heat half the oil at medium-high in deep skillet or casserole that can later be covered. Add hot chili and onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion begins to soften, 3 to 5 minutes. Add almonds, salt, pepper, garlic, tomatoes, cinnamon, cloves, mild chilies, vinegar and half the stock. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes begin to break down. Cool slightly (or for several hours), then puree in blender. Add remaining stock as needed to allow the blender to do its work. Taste, and add more salt, pepper or vinegar to taste.
- Put remaining oil in skillet over medium-high heat. When oil is hot, add turkey, skin-side down. Season with salt and pepper. Brown for a couple of minutes (does not need to be golden), then pour on pureed sauce. Adjust heat so mixture simmers steadily when covered and cook, turning pieces once or twice until thighs are very tender, about an hour.
- Taste sauce and adjust seasoning. Garnish if desired, and serve hot.
