Directions

  1. In a small pot, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Remove from heat, add chile pepper and let steep until plump.
  2. In a blender, process the chili peppers, ground cumin, chili powder, garlic cloves, 1 cup onion, and 1 cup water until smooth. Strain through a sieve and reserve liquid.
  3. In a large pot over medium heat, heat olive oil. Add remaining onions and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until translucent. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Add turkey thighs and oregano. Cover with 10 cups water and chili liquid. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer. Simmer the soup for about 30 minutes, or until turkey is thoroughly cooked and fork-tender.
  5. Remove turkey from pot and shred with two forks. Return turkey to pot and add hominy. Cook for another 5 minutes until turkey and hominy are warmed through.
  6. For the baked tortilla strips: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Brush both sides of the tortillas with oil, then stack and cut into strips of desired size. Arrange tortilla pieces on a baking sheet and bake until crispy and browned, about 8 to 10 minutes.
  7. Serve in bowls and garnish with tortilla strips, cilantro, red cabbage, and radishes.
