This is my version of a posole dish we used to serve at a Mexican restaurant I worked at. It is requested on a fairly regular basis here at the homestead and never disappoints!

Step 2
While turkey is cooking, combine chile peppers, cumin, oregano, salt, and cayenne in a slow cooker set to Low. Stir in hominy and 1 can black-eyed peas. Mash the other can of black-eyed peas with a fork and stir into the slow cooker along with the chicken broth. Stir in sauteed turkey and onions.
Step 3
Cook on Low until flavors combine, about 4 hours. Add cilantro just before serving.

Cook's Notes:

Substitute chicken if you are not a turkey fan.

I add some cornstarch to help thicken it like chili. Adding more mash helps as well.

We had company over and everyone gobbled it down, there was none left! This had great flavor, especially on a cold day. We served with tortilla chips and biscuits. I used only about half of the onions, and 2tsp cayenne instead of 3, and doubled the garlic. DELICIOUS
