Turkey Chile Verde

Anaheim chilies have only a mild spiciness. They are known for their meaty flesh and green, vegetal flavor. They add their character to this spin on chile verde, a classic braise of Tex-Mex cooking, that marries the chilies with charred garlic and onions, tangy fresh tomatillos and the minty, citrusy hints of cilantro.
