Add the garlic, cumin and paprika and cook for another minute. Add the turkey and sprinkle it with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. Cook, breaking up with a wooden spoon or spatula, until browned all the way through. Add the tomato paste, harissa, brown sugar and tomatoes. Simmer over medium heat for 20 minutes. Stir in the preserved lemon. Taste and adjust the seasoning as desired.

• Add remaining ingredients. Mix well, then turn heat down to medium low (or low for strong stoves).
• Cover and cook for 30 minutes, stirring once or twice to make sure it doesn't catch on the base. (If in rush, cook 15 minutes without lid)
• Remove lid and give it a good stir for a minute. Mixture should be thick, not runny and saucy (see video). Adjust salt to taste.
• Toast rolls. Butter if desired (I don't).
• Pile on lots of filling, immediately top with cheese (heat should semi melt, otherwise pop under broiler/grill). Top with lid and serve immediately!
