Successful Green Chili Stew

4 cans diced green chiles -- 7 oz each

1 pound turkey -- finely ground

1 small zucchini -- thinly sliced

1 cup frozen corn kernels

14 ounces canned peeled tomatoes -- with juice

24 ounces water

6 cloves garlic -- minced

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon italian seasoning

1 teaspoon salt

1. Brown the ground turkey. Just before it is done, add the garlic and saute i t 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. Beside s, if it weren't a bit greasy, it wouldn't be authentic. :)

2. Turn on heat to medium high and add tomatoes + juice. use a spatula or som ething to cut up the tomatoes in the pan. then add the rest of the vegetables, the chiles, the water, and the seasoning.

3. 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
