Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1 medium, diced yellow onion
- 1 large, diced red bell pepper
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 15 ounces, drained and rinsed canned hominy
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, chopped (optional, for garnish) fresh cilantro
- 4 optional, for serving lime wedges
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Add the diced onion and red bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
Add the ground turkey to the skillet, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Cook for 6-8 minutes, or until the turkey is fully browned and no pink remains.
Stir in the tomato paste, ground cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to coat the turkey and vegetables in the spices.
Add the drained and rinsed hominy and chicken broth to the skillet. Stir to combine.
Lower the heat to medium and simmer for 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the liquid to reduce slightly.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Serve warm, garnished with chopped cilantro and a squeeze of fresh lime juice, if desired.
