This was the best turkey chili I've ever made. My changes to the recipe are in my Notes at the bottom. The ingredient list is as it was in the book. I used less poblano, some bell peppers, less broth, some water, and I used Bacon Salt instead of the regular salt. Everyone loved it. Served with Paula Deen's Cheesey Corn Muffins.



1 tbsp canola oil
1 medium onion, diced
2 stalks celery, 
diced
3 poblano peppers, seeded & diced
1 clove garlic, 
minced
1 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp ground coriander
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper, or to taste*
1 lb ground white meat turkey
2-15 oz cans white beans, drained & rinsed**
4 cups chicken broth 
(low sodium)***
3/4 tsp dried oregano
1-15.5 oz can hominy, 
rinsed and drained
3/4 tsp salt, or to taste****
1/4 cup 
reduced fat sour cream
2 tbsp fresh cilantro
lime wedges

Heat oil in a large pot or dutch oven over MED heat. Add the onion, celery 
and peppers. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the egetables are 
softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, cumin, coriander, and 1/4 tsp 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 beans, broth and 
oregano. Cook, partially covered and stirring occasionally, for 25 
minutes.

Add the hominy, 3/4 tsp salt and more cayenne to taste 
and continue cooking, partially covered, for 10 minutes longer. Ladle 
into individual bowls and top each serving with 1 tbsp sour cream and 
1.5 tsp cilantro. Garnish with a lime wedge.

Risa's notes:
* I used 
taco seasoning instead of cayenne
** I only used 1 can of beans - 
black beans - and I pureed half of it with the broth so my son wouldn't 
see as many beans.
*** I used 2 cups broth and 2 cups water
**** I used Bacon Salt instead.
