3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 medium onion, diced
8 cloves garlic, chopped
3 bay leaves
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1 1/4 pounds ground turkey
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 6-ounce can tomato paste
1/3 cup golden raisins
1/2 cup chopped pimento-stuffed olives, plus 2 tablespoons olive juice
4 soft sesame buns or Portuguese rolls, split

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until slightly soft, about 2 minutes.
