  1. 1 Mix masa harina, salt, and 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons water together in a bowl using your fingertips until dough forms and pulls away from the sides, 2 or 3 minutes. Form into a firm, flattened ball and divide into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball. Keep dough balls covered with a damp paper towel as you fry them, one at a time.
  2. 2 Place dough ball between 2 sheets of plastic or a split open zip top bag. Flatten to form a small circle about 1/8 to 3/16 inch thick.
  3. 3 Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. When oil is hot, slide in the first circle. Very carefully baste hot oil over the top of the shell with a spoon to keep oil circulating over the top surface. When shell has puffed (after about 15 seconds), cook another few seconds and flip it over and cook another 30 seconds. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Repeat for each shell.
  4. 4 When shells are still warm and pliable, gently push down puffed tops to create room for the fillings and slightly crease the shells for folding.

  3. 3 Season turkey with salt and black pepper. Press stuffing all over the surface of the meat.
  4. 4 Fold long edges of the turkey around stuffing into the center of the bird and carefully turn turkey seam-side down. Tie the leg-end of the turkey with kitchen twine to cinch the turkey together. Repeat ties at 2-inch intervals along the length of the turkey, ending with a single tie along the length of the turkey. Season with salt and transfer turkey to a large roasting pan.
  5. 5 Roast turkey in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) and continue to roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the turkey reads 155 degrees F (68 degrees C), about 1 1/2 hours.

  1. 1 With a sharp knife, cut tuna into 4 pieces for an appetizer portion, or 2 large pieces for a dinner portion. Use your judgment on what shape you want to cut your tuna because not all tuna is the same size or shape. However, the shape should somewhat resemble a miniature brick.
  2. 2 Season tuna pieces with salt and pepper. Coat lightly on all sides with bread crumbs. Heat olive oil in a large heavy skillet over high heat. The pan should be as hot as you can get it. Place tuna in the pan and sear on each side for about 45 seconds for small portions, or 1 minute for large. Remove from the pan. Tuna will be very rare.
  3. 3 Slice each piece into 1/4-inch thick slices, and fan out on a serving plate. Enjoy plain, or with condiments of your choice.
