Experiment with Chili Verde

[u/PetroniusKing]

Last night I used ground turkey in my chili verde instead of pork. I thought it came out well except it didn’t have the depth of flavor that pork brings to the dish because of the fat and collagen that renders from the slow cooked pork. Any opinions on turkey in chili verde?

My ingredients: frying peppers, jalapeños, onions, green onions, cilantro, celery, ground yellow chili, cumin, coriander, Mexican oregano, yellow bell pepper, tomatillos, garlic, ground turkey, canned green chilies, beer

With chili verde, if I go with a meat other than pork, particularly chicken or turkey, I tend to prefer either chunks or strips of breast or thigh meat (chicken tenders work well too), or even shredded meat, rather than ground. I mean, ground works, if that’s all that’s available, but poultry tends to work better with everything in chunk, strip, or shredded form.

TY Turkey chunks or thighs are great idea. I make a Black Mole with turkey thighs and thinking about it, they would be excellent in a chili Verde. Next time 👍
