Yield
Serves: 6
Preparation
Preheat oven to 400°F. Place tortilla strips on a baking sheet, spray with light coat of oil and sprinkle with salt. Bake to golden and crisp.
Place dried chili peppers in a pot and cover with stock. Bring to boil then reduce to simmer and reconstitute until soft, 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool. Purée stock and peppers in a food processor, and reserve.
Char fresh chili peppers over an open flame on a gas stove or under the broiler on high to char skins. Place in a bowl and cover with foil until cool. Peel and seed; chop.
If using leftover roast turkey, pull it into small bite-sized pieces. Heat olive oil in a soup pot/Dutch oven over medium-high heat and add onions, garlic, spices and thyme. If using fresh ground turkey, heat oil in a soup pot/Dutch oven over medium-high heat then add meat; brown and crumble. Add onions and garlic and spices, thyme to ground meat.
Cook to soften onions, 5-6 minutes. Add coffee, stir 30 seconds, add beer, stir 30 more. Add honey and stock/Ancho purée then stir in cornmeal, Masa or chips, tomatoes and beans. Add pulled turkey to pot (if using) and simmer 20-30 minutes to thicken.
For the salsa, place jalapeño, onion, salt and lime juice in a bowl, and let rest 10-15 minutes. Add cilantro, apples and pepitas; adjust salt to taste.
Serve chili in bowls topped with tortilla strips and salsa.
