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.

Perfect healthy 'comfort' food!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

The whole family enjoyed this. I omitted the peppers and used a small can of green chiles instead. Also left out the... coriander and added an extra 1/2 tsp of Cumin. It was PERFECT! Served it over steamed rice, topped it with sourcream and shredded jack. Along side some garlic cheese toast...perfect for a cold night!Read more

Delicious chili, needs a little more spice!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I used Jenny O's taco seasoned grount turkey in this, reduced the chicken broth to two cans, and the result was perfect. I... had never used hominy before in my life, but I'm glad I did. I've also made it subbing 2 cans of roasted green chilis for the poblano peppers, and it turned out just as tasty!Read more

Really healthy, really good!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I made this last night for myself and my boyfriend ( who is violently allergic to anything that is healthy or not fried). I... followed the recipe, but made a couple tweaks. I reduced the amount of chicken broth by about a 1/2 cup, and i used the normal chicen broth instead of the reduced-sodium. I'm glad i did, because it still needed plenty of seasoning in the end. I love heat, so i tripled the amount of cayenne, added 1 jalapeno, and plenty of hot sauce. If you like it mild, it is very mild on its own. Very goodRead more

So satisfying
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Food Network, why can't we get new episodes of Ellie? This recipe is only 6 points on Weight Watchers and it tastes better... than many of the WW recipes. And it is very filling too. I stir the Greek yogurt in my chili which makes it a lot thicker and sort of creamy.Read more
