Introduction

My favorite thing to make from the last shreds of meat from the turkey carcass. It's also good with leftover roast chicken. This version is very mild, but you can spice it up with Tabasco Sauce, Jalepenos or other hot peppers.

The secret to the dish is a nicely flavored low sodium stock - preferably home-made and flavored with cumin. The sodium content is probably lower, since the nutritional info includes sodium from the canned beans and hominy that should be removed during the preparation.
