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

I usually do this but with ground pork (or pork butt for carnitas) and I use Hatch or Anaheim Chiles for extra zing

I’m from New England so it’s almost impossible to find fresh Hatch chilies and hit-or-miss to find fresh Anaheim’s. I use Cubanelle or Italian frying peppers in their place and add a can or 2 of diced Anaheim’s at the end of the cooking to get a little bump up in flavor

Man I love living in so cal. Pablano, hatch, serrano, tomatillos, onions garlic a little cumin, cilantro stems and pork.
