Add 475ml hot water; let sit until softened, about 5 minutes. Pulse chillies in a food processor with 120ml soaking liquid, 1 garlic clove, and 2 tablespoons tomato paste until smooth.

Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Cook 1 thinly sliced medium onion, stirring occasionally, until translucent, 6–8 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons chilli paste and cook, stirring, until thick and darkened, about 4 minutes. Add two 425g cans white hominy, rinsed, 1925ml turkey stock or low-sodium chicken broth, and 475ml shredded cooked turkey meat; season with salt and pepper. Simmer until flavours meld, 10–15 minutes.

Serve with tortilla crisps, sliced avocado, coriander sprigs, and lime wedges.
