  • 1 ½ teaspoons salt (to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  4. Simmer: Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 1 hour.

  5. Add Turkey and Hominy: Stir in the shredded turkey and hominy. Continue to cook for another 30 - 60 minutes, until the turkey is warmed through and the hominy has absorbed the flavors.

  6. Serve: Ladle the pozole into bowls and serve with your favorite toppings, such as seasoned cabbage, avocado, cilantro, radishes, and lime juice.

Tips

  • Customize Your Pozole: Add your favorite toppings like diced avocado, fresh cilantro, thinly sliced radishes, and a squeeze of lime juice to enhance the flavors.
  • Make It Easier: Use a slow cooker for this recipe by adding all ingredients to the Crock-Pot and cooking on high for four hours.
