Let's Slurp up Some Turkey Posole a la Guerita (a Modern Take), powered by Dona Maria Mole Verde** and an assortment of mouthwatering garnishes! This recipe cleverly reimagines traditional Mexican posole with juicy turkey and a tantalizing herby kick from the renowned Mole Verde, a sauce typically found in both green and black mole recipes. Let's dive into the deets!
Necessities:
You'll need a pack of ground turkey, soaked hominy, a Dona Maria Mole Verde jar, tasty chicken broth, diced onion, minced garlic, cumin, oregano, salt, pepper, a medley of garnishes like radishes, onion, cilantro, lime wedges, crunchy tortilla chips or fried tortilla strips, sour cream or Mexican crema, and chili oil (for extra heat die-hards).
Game Plan:
Posole is usually accompanied by a vibrant selection of toppings. Customize your meal by preparing all or a few of the components; either way, everything harmonizes delightfully.
This recipe rocks as an awesome way to use up Thanksgiving leftovers!

- 3 tbsp Dona Maria Mole Verde
- 1/2 cup Salsa Verde
- 1 lb Ground Turkey (cooked and ready to rock)

Directions:
- Ready the Skillet: Get oil sizzling in a large saucepan over a hot flame.
- Sauté the Onion and Garlic: Add onion and garlic and sprinkle them with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook till the onion is translucent and delicate, about 6 minutes, without any overcaramelization.
- Bring in the Mole Verde: Stir in the Mole Verde and cook till it's well combined with the veggies, approximately 1 minute.

Best Beverage Match: Modelo Especial, Mexico
Pair your delicious soup with a frigid Modelo Especial! While the lime and cilantro in the soup should match gracefully with the light, crisp style of the beer, the effervescence in this beer contributes a delightful textural contrast to your soup.
Crib Notes:- For added complexity in the broth, roast a few tomatillos and mix them in—though this is optional and deviates from the white-girl style recipe.- Gradually add the Mole Verde since it can be quite punchy—adjust to taste and enjoy customizing the dish further with additional kick or veggies!
