Hi Bonnie – I haven’t tried it, but since turkey is such a lean meat, the soup would lose a lot of the silkiness of the broth that the pork shoulder gives it. But it would still have a good flavor I imagine. Also, you’d want to reduce the cook time to avoid overcooking the turkey. Turkey tenderloin is already a very tender cut so you just want to cook it through probably about 6 minutes at high pressure depending on the thickness of the tenderloin. Let me know how it goes.

I’m wondering if/how the cooking time would be affected if one substituted hunks of turkey tenderloin for the pork?

Love hominy & Mexican cuisine, but hubby doesn’t eat pork.

It’s possible to purchase a nonstick pot for the Instant Pot if desired.

This is very similar to the Posole I’ve made for years, having grown up in New Mexico. We always had it for New Years to insure good luck in the coming year. Try adding some dried oregano, it adds so much to the stew, and if you can find dried hominy it’s even better!

This recipe is now one of my husband’s favorites, with a few tweaks: I add a 10 oz can of red enchilada sauce with the second addition of chicken broth instead of using chili powder and also add a 4 oz can of lightly drained chopped mild green chilies with the hominy. I drain but don’t rinse the hominy to help thicken the broth a bit more. This recipe can easily accommodate about 2 pounds of pork for a more meaty and hearty stew.
BTW, I shared this recipe with a Latina bank teller. She said she plans to use this posole recipe from now on. 🙂
Thanks for the wonderful recipe!

Instead of the corn starch slurry, try making a roux of butter (or duck fat) and masa harina and stir that into the stew for a more Mexican flavor.

In reply to Stephanie. Thanks Stephanie! Glad you loved it. Chipotle chili powder is a great addition. It would add a nice smokey flavor.
