Directions

In a small pot, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Remove from heat, add chile pepper and let steep until plump.
In a blender, process the chili peppers, ground cumin, chili powder, garlic cloves, 1 cup onion, and 1 cup water until smooth. Strain through a sieve and reserve liquid.
In a large pot over medium heat, heat olive oil. Add remaining onions and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until translucent. Season with salt and pepper.
Add turkey thighs and oregano. Cover with 10 cups water and chile liquid. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer. Simmer the soup for about 30 minutes, or until turkey is thoroughly cooked and fork-tender.
Remove turkey from pot and shred with two forks. Return turkey to pot and add hominy. Cook for another 5 minutes until turkey and hominy are warmed through.
Serve in bowls and garnish with cilantro, red cabbage and radishes.
