Ingredients: 2 oz raw turkey skin (from a thawed turkey breast or thigh); 1/4 tsp kosher salt; 1 ripe avocado (about 5 oz); 1 garlic clove, minced; juice of 1/2 lime; 1/4 tsp kosher salt; 2 tbsp crema or sour cream; 2 jalapeños, seeded and sliced into thin strips; 1/4 cup white vinegar; 1 tbsp sugar; 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes; 1/4 tsp cumin seeds, toasted; sea salt for finishing

Turkey skin—often discarded—is rendered slowly until paper-thin and shatters like a cracker, then topped with a silky avocado mousse spiked with lime and garlic. A bright, vinegary jalapeño escabeche adds a surprising sharp counterpoint. Intermediate technique, genuine surprise on the plate.
