Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 medium carrots, diced
- 1 large russet potato, peeled and diced
- 2 stalks celery stalks, sliced
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 14.5-ounce can diced tomatoes (with juice)
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add the ground turkey to the pot and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the turkey from the pot and set it aside.
In the same pot, add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, until fragrant.
Add the carrots, potato, and celery to the pot. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Push the vegetables to one side of the pot and add the tomato paste. Cook the tomato paste for 1-2 minutes to develop its flavor, then stir it into the vegetables.
Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and diced tomatoes (with their juices). Stir well to combine.
Add the cooked turkey back into the pot.
Stir in the dried thyme, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Bring the stew to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
During the last 5 minutes of cooking, add the frozen peas and stir to combine.
Taste the stew and adjust seasoning if needed.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy!
