Ingredients

  • 3 cups low sodium turkey stock
  • 1: 15 oz can white or yellow hominy, drained and rinsed
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 cup onions, chopped
  • 4 jalapeños, stemmed, seeded and minced
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 tsp ground cumin
  • 2 tsp ground coriander
  • 3: 15 oz cans cannellini beans drained and rinsed
  • 2 pounds leftover turkey meat, shredded
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 2 avocados, pitted and cut into 1/2-inch pieces

Instructions

  • In a blender, puree 2 cups of turkey stock with the can of hominy until smooth. Pour into the crockpot insert.
  • In a large skillet, turn heat on to medium high and add vegetable oil to the skillet. Sauté onions, jalapeños, garlic, cumin, and coriander until soft and tender. Stir in remaining 1 cup of turkey stock, scraping the bottom of the skillet for any browned pieces left behind. Carefully pour into crockpot.
  • Add the cannellini beans, turkey meat, salt, and pepper. Carefully stir together with a spatula to make sure everything is evenly distributed.
  • Cover and cook on low for 4 hours or high for 2 hours.
  • Serve with avocado pieces on top and garnish with cilantro (optional).

Notes

If making this with chicken, you'll want 3 pounds of whole chicken thighs and you'll want to use 3 cups of low sodium chicken stock or broth. At step 3, you'll nestle the chicken thighs in the crockpot and remove the chicken thighs to shred after 4 hours (if cooking on low) or 2 hours (if cooking on high). Add the shredded chicken thighs back into the crockpot and stir to incorporate.
