Servings:

113grams

1/2 cup butter 10

dried New Mexico chiles (2 to 3 oz. total; see notes)473milliliters

fat-skimmed chicken broth 2Tbsps

chopped fresh thyme leaves or 1 tablespoon dried thyme 18servings

Kosher salt 283grams

Pepper 6kilograms

turkey 85grams

cloves garlic, peeled and minced, plus 1 whole head

Recommended wine: Cava, Grenache, Shiraz

Chili works really well with Cava, Grenache, and Shiraz. These juicy reds don't have too much tannin (important for spicy foods), but a sparkling wine like cava can tame the heat even better. You could try Avinyo Cava Reserva. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.8 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 17 dollars per bottle.
