1 medium onion, diced (about 1 1/2 cups)
3 medium poblano peppers (about 4 ounces each), seeded and white ribs removed, finely diced (about 1 1/2 cups)
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, more to taste
1 pound ground white meat turkey (can easily be skipped or swapped out for diced mushrooms for a vegetarian version of this chili)
2 (15.5-ounce) cans cannelini beans, drained and rinsed
1 (15.5-ounce) can hominy, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup frozen sweet corn
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro or parsley
Heat the oil in large dutch oven over moderate heat. Add the onion and diced poblanos, sauteing until the vegetables are soft - about 8 minutes. Add the garlic, cumin, coriander and cayenne and cook until fragrant.
Add the ground turkey (or diced mushrooms) and cook through. Add the white beans and broth, stirring occasionally for 25 minutes.
Finally, add the hominy and frozen corn (salt to taste) and continue cooking - partially covered - for 10 minutes longer. Ladle into individual bowls and top each serving which chopped cilantro or parsley. This is also delicious topped with greek yogurt or sour cream with a wedge of lime and a dash of hot sauce!
