Directions

In a large Dutch oven or other heavy pot, heat oil over medium-high. Add onion; cook until softened, 8 minutes. Add garlic, chiles, rosemary, cumin, oregano, and cayenne and cook until fragrant, 2 minutes; season with salt. Add turkey and cook, breaking up meat with a wooden spoon, until cooked through, 5 minutes. Add broth, beans, and hominy; bring to a boil over high. Partially cover, reduce heat, and simmer until chili is thickened slightly, 25 minutes. Stir in cornmeal and cook 15 minutes. Season to taste with salt.
Cook's Note
Hominy is the hulled, dried white or yellow kernels of field (not sweet) corn. Canned white hominy is available at Latin markets and most supermarkets.
Suggested toppings: radishes, sliced scallions, sour cream.
This was one of my favorite chilis. The rosemary and cornmeal give it a unique touch. I definitely recommend it...as long as you like hominy and rosemary. With just 1 serrano and ribs removed, it was mild.
I made this recipe tonight. I was astounded at the wonderful flavor, especially since I never was a big fan of hominy but in this recipe it really worked.
It was easy to make, too. I will definitely be making this one again. I served it with Onion Cornbread, also delicious.
