How To Make "candy corn" white chili
-
Step 1In a large pot over high heat, sweat the onions in the olive oil until beginning to soften.
-
Step 2Add the ground turkey and the minced garlic, and continue to stir until the meat loses its pink color.
-
Step 3Stir in the drained hominy, the green chilies, HALF of the chicken broth, and the cumin and salt. (The salt may be replaced with chicken bouillon powder for more flavor.) Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer 10 minutes. Note: Hominy is a starchy corn product used in Southern cooking (it's the basis for grits) and in Hispanic cuisine. Find it near the canned corn or on the Hispanic foods aisle.
-
Step 4Stir in the diced* sweet potato, re-cover, and continue to simmer another ten minutes. *half-inch cubes
-
Step 5Add more broth if too dry, or stir in some corn meal if too soupy. Stir in the drained beans and the yellow bell pepper and simmer until heated through (these are saved to last so they won't get too mushy.)
-
Step 6Serve in bowls, topped with sliced hot pepper if desired, and with crusty French bread on the side. Go light the Jack-o'-lantern, and then enjoy!
