Turkey Chile Verde (Instant Pot)
By Sue Lau | Palatable Pastime
Turkey Chile Verde (Instant Pot) is my recipe of the day for a blogger chili cook-off.
I love this recipe since it cooks easily in the instant pot. And this uses Hatch chilies which I had tucked in the freezer, but you can use any mild canned green chile if you like.
White chili is generally any kind of chili made with poultry and no tomato. The tomatillo double in the place of that to build the flavor. Just peel off the husks on those, rinse and chop.
Finally, this uses cannellini beans but you can use any type of white bean you have on hand.

This sounds wonderful I don’t have any tomatillos right now but I do have a counter full of green tomatoes that I may use to make this wonderful chili.
