                              Vegetable Chicken or Turkey Pozole.

Vegetable Chicken or Turkey PozoleSo, I actually used a combination of leftover roasted turkey and chicken in this pozole dish, along with the plentitude of organic vegetables being harvested right now! My Vegetable Chicken or Turkey Pozole is filled with organic tomatoes, cob corn, late summer squash, Napa cabbage, carrots, celery, baby potatoes, cilantro, onion and garlic, along with left over free range roasted turkey and chicken with the schmaltz, if available. The pozole is seasoned with New Mexican red chili powder and oregano indio, then brightened with a dash of lime juice. Just one half pound of precooked hominy and it’s cooking broth fills the dish with the chewy texture that is  so signature of pozole! My Vegetable Chicken or Turkey Pozole is a quick and easy use of leftover poultry and must use organic vegetables! Serve in deep bowls with organic radish slices and avocado; my Vegetable Chicken or Turkey Pozole is just delicious! Enjoy.
