Green Chile Posole originated in Mexico and has since become a popular dish in the Southwestern United States. It is a traditional stew made using hominy, green chiles, and meat that can be pork, chicken, or turkey. This version of Green Chile Posole uses turkey breast tenderloins, which are leaner than other cuts of meat and therefore lower in fat. The stew is flavored with salsa verde and seasoned with jalapeno peppers. Green Chile Posole is perfect for any occasion- from cozy family dinners to large gatherings of friends and family.

2.	Place turkey on a greased baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes or until fully cooked.
