Great way to use leftover turkey! Was thinking about making turkey and noddles but this was really fast and good.
Really good, almost Chilis…
Like others, I modified with pinto beans. I also only used a tablespoon of chili powder. It was good, a great way to use leftover turkey.
It was very good! Used slightly less than 1/4 cup chili powder and leftover-turkey, diced. Only had crushed tomatoes, but that was fine as it made the stew liquid creamier. Like lasagna, it is better the second day!
this was pretty good,,,,needed less chili powder.
Very good. Fast & Easy with ingreidents on hand. Doubled the hominy and the chicken broth. Used 2 heaping tbls of chili powder. Young kids and adults alike loved this. Will make again. **TIP** Freeze leftover turkey (chopped) in 3-4 cup freezer bags. Makes putting this soup together – fast & easy!
Did not add peppers & only used 1 tablespoon chili powder. Very Good!
Excellent as written!
Needed more of the following for my liking: more broth (used 32oz (1Qt) of broth), more hominy (29oz can of hominy), more spices (2tbsp of cumin, 2tbsp oregano), more garlic (6 cloves). It was a 5star in my book after making the above modifications.
I used a rotisserie chicken and added a dallop of sour cream when served. Yum!!
good and simple only thing I changed was I used fresh tomato instead of canned and black beans instead of hominy which I’ll look for and use next time. thanks for a great recipe
my girlfriend loved it!!!!
All the time I was cooking this, I thought I was going to hate it. I don’t care for tomatoe based soups and I don’t like peppers. I tasted it while the tomatoes were simmering and thought it was terrible. But when I added the turkey and cilantro, there was a magic transformation. Suddenly it was delicious. I will make this many times. I used smoked turkey because it was what I had, and I think that made it better. I was skeptical about the amount of chili, but it was not too much at all. This is an excellent recipe that I will pass on to others
Great Turkey leftovers recipe. I would suggest a little more hominy and a little less chili powder. I spiced it up by substituting hot Rotel for the diced tomatoes. Try it served in burritos.
I used ground turkey and added a can of pinto beans. My family likes it hot, so I added a small can of diced roasted chiles. All in all, a nice, healthy chili!
No hominy in the north?! What a terrible situation! Although we have plenty of hominy here in Texas, I had a can of creamed corn on hand and didn’t feel like going to the store. It worked great! Also, I added a little bit of Cumin which gave it more of a smokey chili flavor. If you really like heat drop a whole pickeled jalapeno in the stew while it simmers. Great recipe!
Great recipe. A good switch for right after Thanksgiving: Leftover turkey with a “kick”. I added a little Tabasco to the recipe for an added kick.
I used only 2 tablespoons of chili powder and that was plenty. Can use additional cilantro.
This is the frickin bomb! I used green onions instead, a 1 small yellow bell pepper, 4 cups of chicken broth, doubled the hominy, and omitted the salt and pepper. I am a salty girl and I can honestly say adding it at the end would have been too much, even for me. It was spicy enough, too, so no pepper either. I followed the cooking directions to a “t”. Dude, yum!
I live in the Northeast and have never had a problem finding hominy. I always find it in the canned vegetable section, near the corn. I love this recipe. I used chicken instead of turkey (that’s what I had on hand). So yum.
I REALLY liked this recipe. Hominy can be found in the Hispanic section of our grocery stores and it really makes this dish superb! I added some tabasco for a bit more kick. Family loved it and it was a great way to use those turkey leftovers I had frozen since November! Thanks for the recipe!
