Instructions
Wash produce before use
1
Prep the chile verde ingredients
- Peel and finely chop enough onion to measure 1 cup [2 cups].
- Scrub or peel the sweet potato. Cut the potato into ½-inch pieces.
- Remove the stem, ribs, and seeds from the bell pepper; cut the pepper into ½-inch pieces.
- In a medium bowl, using a fork or whisk, mix together the almond butter and 1½ cups [2½ cups] hot tap water until smooth.
- If using the jalapeño, remove the stem, ribs, and seeds; finely chop the jalapeño. Wash your hands after handling.
2
Prep and brown the turkey
- Cut a small corner from the ground turkey packaging and drain off any excess liquid. Transfer to a plate; pat dry with a paper towel.
In a large sauce pot over medium-high heat, warm 2 to 3 teaspoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the turkey, season with salt, pepper, and the sazon spice blend, and cook, stirring to break up the meat, until lightly browned but not yet cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the turkey to a plate. Do not clean the pot.
3
Cook the chile verde
In the same pot used for the turkey, if dry, add 1 to 2 teaspoons oil. Warm over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add the onion and sweet potato, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until just tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in the bell pepper and as much jalapeño as you like, season lightly with salt and pepper, and cook, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot, until the peppers start to soften, 1 to 2 minutes.
Add the tomatillo simmer sauce base, almond butter mixture, and turkey and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and the turkey is cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and season to taste with salt and pepper.
When the chile verde is almost done, prepare the garnishes.
