What each ingredient does

Turkey
Forms the main body of the dish; its proteins set and firm as it cooks.
Lard
Adds fat that carries flavour and helps the surface brown and stay moist.

The step that matters

Starting at low heat and increasing gradually. A gentle start lets the heat reach the centre of the bird before the outside browns too far. Raising the heat slowly limits moisture loss and dryness, so the meat cooks more evenly.
