Turkey is not a bird native to Philippines unlike chickens and ducks which are readily available.

This is an old recipe dating back in the Spanish era which you can try if you have an occasion.

Also, this variation have the addition of grated mature coconut and using annato oil instead of the traditional annato seed (“atchuete” in Filipino) poured with a little boiling water to get the red coloring. If annato oil is unavailable, you can make it yourself. The ratio is for every 2 cups of vegetable oil use 1 cup of annato seeds. Heat the oil to 350 deg. F then pour the annato seeds.
