Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1.5 pounds boneless turkey breast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 large onion
- 3 garlic cloves
- 3 medium carrots
- 2 celery stalks
- 4 medium red potatoes
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 cup frozen green peas
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Cut the turkey breast into bite-sized cubes and season them with salt and black pepper.
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the turkey cubes and brown them on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the turkey from the pot and set aside.
In the same pot, add more olive oil if needed. Dice the onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Mince the garlic and add it to the onion, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
Slice the carrots and celery, and chop the potatoes into small cubes. Add them to the pot, stirring to combine.
Pour in the chicken broth and add the browned turkey back into the pot.
Add the dried thyme, dried rosemary, and bay leaf to the stew.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 40 minutes, until the vegetables are tender and the turkey is cooked through.
Add the frozen green peas and let them cook for an additional 5 minutes.
Remove the bay leaf and discard it.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and stir it into the stew just before serving.
Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary.
Serve the turkey stew hot, with crusty bread or a side salad if desired.
