Slow Cooker Turkey Posole

This is my version of a posole dish we used to serve at a Mexican restaurant I worked at. It is requested on a fairly regular basis here at the homestead and never disappoints!

Ingredients

  • ½ cup butter
  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless turkey breast, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 2 cups chopped onions
  • ½ tablespoon garlic, minced
  • 3 (4 ounce) cans diced green chiles
  • 2 ½ teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 ½ teaspoons dried oregano
  • ¼ tablespoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 2 (25 ounce) containers white hominy, drained
  • 2 (14.5 ounce) cans black-eyed peas, drained
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • ½ cup chopped cilantro

Directions

Step 1
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Saute turkey, onions, and garlic in the butter until turkey is no longer pink, 8 to 10 minutes.

Step 2
While turkey is cooking, combine chile peppers, cumin, oregano, salt, and cayenne in a slow cooker set to Low. Stir in hominy and 1 can black-eyed peas. Mash the other can of black-eyed peas with a fork and stir into the slow cooker along with the chicken broth. Stir in sauteed turkey and onions.

Step 3
Cook on Low until flavors combine, about 4 hours. Add cilantro just before serving.

Cook’s Notes:

Substitute chicken if you are not a turkey fan.
