White Chili

One of my favorite Food Network stars is Ellie Krieger, but she comes on too early in the morning for me to watch. I really like that her recipes are really simple, but also healthy and flavorful at the same time. I also like that her recipes have all of the nutritional information listed. This recipe like all of the other ones that I have tried, was simply delicious! I think it is so much better that regular chili. I love the flavor combination of lime, cilantro and cumin, but I think that what made this dish even better was the hominy.

Ingredients:

1 tbsp olive oil

1 medium onion

2 stalks celery, diced

3 medium poblano peppers (4 oz each) seeded and finely diced ( I used roasted poblanos)

1 garlic clove, minced

1 tsp cumin

1/2 tsp ground coriander

1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

1 pound white meat ground turkey

2 (15.5 oz) cans white beans, drained and rinsed

4 c low sodium chicken broth

3/4 tsp dried oregano

1 (15.5oz) can hominy, drained and rinsed

salt

1/4 c nonfat plain yogurt, Greek style

2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro

lime wedges

Directions:
Heat oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, poblanos and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are soft, about 8 minutes. Add the garlic, cumin, coriander and cayenne and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Add the ground turkey and cook until the meat is no longer pink, about 2 minutes. Add the white beans, hominy, broth and oregano. Cook, partially covered, stirring occasionally, for 25 minutes. Serve with cilantro and lime.
