Down Home Turkey Stew Recipes

DOWN HOME TURKEY STEW

Steps:

• In a large pot, saute carrots and onions in olive oil over medium-high heat until onions get tender but do not brown.
• Add ground turkey and cook until meat is cooked through. Cover with water just until all ingredients are submerged. (If you add too much water you will dilute the broth).
• Add dry onion soup mix, beef base, steak sauce, potatoes and pepper to taste.
• Add more water if needed just to cover.
• Continue cooking over med-high heat until potatoes are done. Enjoy!
• *You may thicken this if you like with whatever you use to thicken broth with but remember to taste and adjust seasonings if need be.
• This recipe tastes even better when made a day ahead. :).
• **Mrs. Grass dry onion soup mix has a different taste variation then Liptons dry onion soup mix so the outcome will taste somewhat different.

HEARTY TURKEY STEW WITH VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a pot over medium heat. Place onions in the pot and cook until tender. Stir in celery and carrots, and cook until tender. Stir in the potatoes and flour. Pour in the chicken stock, and season soup with marjoram. Place turkey in the pot, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer 30 minutes.
• Mix the green bell pepper into the soup, and continue cooking 10 minutes, until pepper is tender.

SLOW COOKER TURKEY STEW

Steps:

• Pour tomatoes and wine into slow cooker. Stir in bouillon cubes, onion flakes, lemon pepper, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and thyme; add turkey.
• Cover and cook on Low for 8 to 10 hours until the turkey meat pulls apart easily.

TURKEY STEW

Steps:

• Dissolve the bouillon in the hot water to make a broth; set aside.
• Place the turkey meat, turkey bone, all the vegetables, flour, both rices, spices and chicken broth in a large kettle or Dutch oven
• Add as much of the 4 cups water as you prefer for desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper.
• Simmer over low heat for 30 to 45 minutes, or until the carrots and celery are tender and the turkey meat is heated through.
• Remove the turkey bone before serving stew.
• NOTE - you can easily use pasta in place of the rice. Just omit both the white and wild rices, and add about 1 cup uncooked egg noodles (or other pasta).
• TIP - I like to use a combination of white and dark meat when making this turkey stew, as I think it produces a much tastier stew. But you could easily use only white or only dark meat, to suit your taste buds.
• TIP - if you're watching your sodium intake, you can easily omit the chicken buillon cube in hot water and replace it with 1 cup of low-sodium canned chicken broth. For our health, we should consider this option but we are die-hard fans of this recipe and haven't been able to bring ourselves to do that -- at least not yet!
