Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Place peppers in plastic zip-top bag and seal. Let stand 10 minutes. Remove and discard skins. Place tomatillos and peppers in food processor and process until smooth. Stir in salt.

Step 2

Place tomatillos, poblano peppers, and jalapeños cut side down on a baking sheet. Broil 3 inches from the heat source until skins are charred, 3 to 5 minutes.

Heat oil over medium-high heat in a large Dutch oven. Add turkey and cook as specified on the package. Always cook to well done, 165 degrees F (74 degrees C) as measured by a meat thermometer.

Step 4

Add onion and garlic, and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Add cumin and coriander, and cook until just fragrant. Stir in tomatillo-pepper mixture and broth. Bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer 20 minutes. Stir in cilantro leaves.
