Instructions
- Preheat broiler.
- Bring a medium pot of water to a boil.

- Heat olive oil over medium in a sauce pot. Brown ground turkey until fully cooked. Turn off heat and remove from pot and set aside.
- Place jalapeños, tomatillos and garlic in a sheet pan. Place pan under broiler until charred. Place jalapeños and tomatillos in a bowl and wrap with plastic wrap. Once skin softens, remove skin from tomatillos and jalapeños. Remove rib and seeds from jalapeños. Place all into a blender with cooked chayote, cilantro sprigs, parsley, spices and a quarter of the chicken broth. Puree until smooth.
- Add the remaining chicken broth and corn flour in a bowl. Puree with a hand blender until smooth. Transfer into the pot where the turkey was cooked. Turn heat on medium and cook while stirring until mixture becomes thick.
- Add blended sauce to the cooked corn flour. Stir and cook for 5 minutes over a simmer. Add reserved cooked ground turkey and stir. Season with salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste.
