Hi there John –
With Thanksgiving coming up, we wanted to highlight this fabulous recipe that we’ve added our own twist to.
Colorado Green Chili with a turkey twist!
Colorado Green Chili, or Chile Verde, a favorite of many in our state, is a heart-warming soup with a delicious balance of citrus and spice. The original recipe calls for Pork shoulder, but we’ve substituted it with turkey to keep your Thanksgiving cooking easy or to make use of your leftovers.
