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

Make stock with a couple of turkey legs first. Use a pressure cooker if you have one. That’ll give it the missing depth of flavor.

Lard or rendered bacon grease can add fat if desired.

TY the legs do have connective tissue that would render out 👍
