 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
 28      oz            Diced green chiles (4 cans)
  1      lb            Turkey -- finely ground
  1      sm            Zucchini -- thinly sliced
  1      c             Frozen corn kernels
 14      oz            Can peeled tomatoes --
                       - with juice
 24      oz            Water
  6      cl            Garlic -- minced
  1      ts            Ground cumin
  1      ts            Italian seasoning
  1      ts            Salt

Brown the ground turkey. Just before it is done, add the garlic and
saute it with the meat. Then put this into a large saucepan or Dutch
oven. I did not drain the fat off--I think this is part of what made
it taste so good. Besides, if it weren't a bit greasy, it wouldn't be
authentic. :)

Turn on heat to medium high and add tomatoes & juice. Use a spatula
or something to cut up the tomatoes in the pan. Then add the rest of
the vegetables, chiles, water, and seasoning.

Bring to a boil, then turn heat down and cook until zucchini becomes
soft. Spoon into bowls and eat as with many things, this is also
better the next day

Notes: I've been working on creating a good green chili stew for a
while now. I finally did it! It turned out great! This was inspired
by some that I had last Christmas at Jemez Pueblo. It is a
traditional New Mexican dish. I make no bones about this being full
of fat and salt.
