Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 3 medium carrots, peeled and sliced
- 2 stalks celery stalks, chopped
- 3 medium russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 14.5 oz can diced tomatoes, with juices
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground turkey and cook until browned, breaking it up into small pieces as it cooks. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Once cooked, drain excess fat if necessary and transfer the turkey to the crock pot.
In the same skillet, sauté the diced onions for 2-3 minutes until they become translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant. Transfer the onions and garlic to the crock pot.
Add the carrots, celery, and potatoes to the crock pot. These hearty vegetables will form the base of the meal.
Pour the chicken broth and diced tomatoes (with juices) into the crock pot. Stir to combine.
Sprinkle in the Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well, ensuring the seasonings are evenly distributed.
Cover the crock pot with a lid and cook on low heat for 6-7 hours or on high heat for 3-4 hours, until the vegetables are tender.
About 30 minutes before the end of the cooking time, add the frozen peas to the crock pot. Stir to mix them in and allow them to heat through.
Once cooking is complete, taste and adjust the seasonings if needed. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
