Recipe 003 - Turkey Green Chile

This is a variation on the 2006 Chili Verde World Cookoff Winning Recipe .  I omit the cornstarch and instead of the 2 lbs of pork, I start with a large roasted turkey breast (both halves) from the freezer section of the local grocery.  I roast the turkey according to the package, allow it to cool a little and then pick all of the meat from the bones, cutting into 1 1/2 inch strips.  This yields at least twice as much meat, so I scale all of the recipe measurements to match.

This makes a very rich turkey chile, that freezes well and seems to get even better in the fridge.  A cup or so added to egg whites and microwaved for about 3.5 minutes makes an incredibly tasty breakfast.  A bowl with fat free Greek yogurt (or FF sour cream) and diced onions makes a delicious hearty and highly compliant meal for a winter day.
