Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, diced (about 1 1/2 cups)
2 stalks celery, diced (about 1/2 cup)
3 medium poblano peppers (about 4 ounces each), seeded and white ribs removed, finely diced (about 1 1/2 cups)
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, more to taste
1 pound ground white meat turkey
2 (15.5-ounce) cans white beans such as cannelini, preferably low-sodium, drained and rinsed
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
3/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1 (15.5-ounce) can hominy, drained and rinsed
Salt
1/4 cup nonfat plain Greek-style yogurt
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves
Lime wedges

Directions

Heat the oil in large pot or Dutch oven over moderate heat. Add the onion, celery, poblanos, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are soft, about 8 minutes. Add the garlic, cumin, coriander and cayenne and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Add the ground turkey and cook, breaking up the meat with a spoon, until the meat is no longer pink about 2 minutes. Add the white beans, broth and oregano. Cook, partially covered, stirring occasionally, for 25 minutes.

Add the hominy and salt and more cayenne pepper, to taste, and continue cooking, partially covered, 10 minutes longer. Ladle into individual bowls and top each serving with 1 tablespoon of yogurt and 1 1/2 teaspoons of cilantro. Garnish with a lime wedge.

Delicious, even with substitutes
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Did a little ingredient swapping due to availability: Had a ton of roasted turkey breast leftover so used that in place of... the ground turkey - added it when I added the broth Couldn't find poblanos so used 2 jalepenos Couldn't find hominy so used canned corn Didn't have coriander so omitted it AND IT WAS DELICIOUS. Cooked up quick with tons of flavor. LOVE what the lime and cilantro did for it as a finish - wouldn't leave that out. It's more a cross between chili and broth soup but that doesn't bother me. This one's a keeper and a great way to use up extra turkey/chicken that you have around as leftovers.Read more

It has to be good--My husband ate it for breakfast!!!!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

My husband gets this look on his face whenever I tell him I have a recipe that I am trying from food network. He is a meat... and potatoes type that resists anything that isn't standard fare--- "Turkey is for Thanksgiving" and such comments are common my house, but I cook on. And this time we have a winner. I still have try cooking the whole recipe on the stove ( let my slow cooker do most of my work), but I bet it is every bit as good. I ran into the same problem that one of the other reviewers did; apparently pablano peppers are a little to progressive for my small town stores so I replace the pablanos with a green bell pepper and 2 jalapenos to achieve around the same heat and amount of pepper. We are a garlic loving family so I took the garlic up to 4 large clove. I don't remember having put coriander in any other dish I have made, but this is a wonderful spice-don't leave it out. If you decide to make this in the slow cooker you still need to saute the onions, peppers, and garlic; put in the spices, and cook the turkey a bit so that it has some color to it. Put all the rest of the ingredients except the hominy in to the slow cooker. Leave the hominy out until a couple of hours before you are ready to serve. I cooked this on low for about 8 hours. Works good for work or church potlucks.Read more

Fabulous!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this for dinner tonight and it got rave reviews, even more than my traditional chili recipe. I will definitely make... this again. I did use a little more garlic and plenty of cayenne, but otherwise stuck to the recipe, and it turned out great. I did simmer uncovered to boil off some of the liquid. Read more
