Cooking the dish according to the recipe:
- Preheat oven to 175°C.
- In a large skillet, heat 3 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until the onion softens slightly, about 2 minutes. Add the bay leaf, cumin, chili powder, and allspice; cook for 1 to 2 minutes.
- Add ground turkey, 1 teaspoon salt, and black pepper to taste. Cook for about 5 minutes, breaking up any lumps.
- Add the tomato paste and stir until the meat turns a brick-red color, 3-4 minutes. Add 2 cups of water, raisins, olives, and olive brine. Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer over medium heat until the sauce thickens, about 15 minutes.
- Remove the lid and cook, stirring, for another 3 minutes. Season the meat sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
- Drizzle the cut sides of the buns with olive oil, place them on a baking sheet, and toast in the oven for 5 minutes. Spread the meat filling on the buns. Garnish with avocado slices, if desired.
