Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup white rice
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 white or red onion, chopped
2 tablespoons chopped pickled jalapeno peppers, plus more for topping, plus 1 to 2 teaspoons brine from the can
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 pound ground turkey
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
4 plum tomatoes, chopped
1 15-ounce can hominy, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup roughly chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Bring 1 1/2 cups water to a simmer in a small saucepan. Stir in the rice and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Reduce the heat to low, cover and cook until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender, about 15 minutes; set aside.
  • Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add all but 1/4 cup of the chopped onion, the jalapenos and garlic; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until the onion is tender, about 5 minutes. Add the turkey, chili powder and cumin. Cook, breaking up the meat, until browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes; season with salt. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes start breaking down, about 5 minutes. Add the hominy and 1 1/2 cups water. Bring to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 10 minutes.
  • Stir the jalapeno brine and half of the cilantro into the chili; season with salt and pepper. Fluff the rice with a fork. Serve the chili over the rice; top with the reserved chopped onion and cilantro and more pickled jalapenos.

Tips:

  • Choose the right turkey meat: For this recipe, bone-in, skin-on turkey thighs are the best choice. They provide plenty of flavor and moisture to the dish.
  • Use fresh, flavorful ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your chile verde will be. Look for ripe tomatoes, juicy tomatillos, and tender squash.
  • Don't be afraid of the spice: This recipe calls for a generous amount of chili peppers, but you can adjust the heat to your liking. If you want a milder chile verde, use fewer peppers or remove the seeds.
  • Simmer until the meat is fall-off-the-bone tender: The turkey thighs should be cooked until they are very tender and easily fall off the bone. This will take about 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings: Chile verde is traditionally served with tortillas, rice, and beans. However, you can also serve it with other toppings, such as avocado, sour cream, or salsa.

Conclusion:

This spicy turkey chile verde is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is packed with flavor and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like it mild or spicy, this chile verde is sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a flavorful and satisfying meal, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
