Ingredients

• 1 pound ground turkey
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 2 medium carrots, chopped
• 2 stalks celery stalks, chopped
• 2 medium russet potatoes, peeled and diced
• 14.5 ounces diced tomatoes (with juices)
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 piece bay leaf
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the olive oil and ground turkey, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Cook until the turkey is browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the turkey with a slotted spoon and set aside.

Step 2

In the same pot, add the diced onion. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened, then stir in the minced garlic. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 3

Add the chopped carrots and celery, and sauté for another 4-5 minutes until they begin to soften.

Step 4

Stir in the diced potatoes, diced tomatoes (with their juices), chicken broth, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, rosemary, paprika, salt, pepper, and bay leaf. Mix well to combine.

Step 5

Return the browned ground turkey to the pot. Bring the stew to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender, stirring occasionally.

Step 6

Add the frozen peas to the stew and cook for an additional 5 minutes until heated through. Discard the bay leaf before serving.

Step 7

Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve hot. Enjoy!
