Measure the beans
Measure 3½ cups of beans for the chili. Reserve the rest for another use. (Beans will keep refrigerated up to 5 days or frozen up to 6 months.)
Saute the aromatics
In a large pot set over medium heat, heat the oil until shimmering. Add the onion, jalapeño and salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to soften, 5 minutes.

2 cups diced yellow onions
2 tablespoons diced jalapeño

Add the chiles and garlic
Add the canned chiles along with the liquids. Add the crushed garlic and stir and cook the mixture until fragrant, 1-2 minutes.
2 cans diced green chilies
2 teaspoons crushed garlic
Toast the spices
Add the cumin, oregano, coriander and cayenne, if using. Stirring constantly, allow the spices to toast 1-2 minutes.
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon ground coriander
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
Add the broth
Add chicken or turkey broth to the pot and bring the chili to a boil.
4 cups chicken broth
Add the beans, turkey and hominy
Stir in the reserved beans, turkey and hominy. Return the chili to a boil and simmer 10-15 minutes on medium-low heat to meld the flavors and thicken the chili. Season with additional salt to taste.
