Really delicious. I made the rich turkey stock recipe using turkey necks found in the grocery store and the turkey meat that I pulled off them when the stock was finished. Don't leave off the condiments--they really make the dish. I do use yellow hominy rather than white because the color is prettier in the soup. Served with simple corn tortilla cheese quesadillas and sliced mangoes.
Post-Turkey Day Posole
This posole, or spicy Mexican stew, is a great way to use up leftover Thanksgiving turkey. Top with shredded cabbage, sliced radishes, cilantro, and lime wedges.
