Turkey Stew Recipes

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground turkey with salt and pepper to taste in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease.
• Place turkey in the bottom of a slow cooker. Add onion, followed by potatoes and carrots.
• Mix tomato soup with Worcestershire, seasoned salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper; stir into the slow cooker until everything is coated.
• Cover and cook until vegetables are tender, on Low, 6 to 8 hours, or High, 3 to 4 hours.

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!

Steps:

• Make the stock: Pull the turkey carcass apart into smaller pieces; set the meat aside. Put the bones in a large, deep pot and add cold water to cover, 4 to 5 quarts. Add the onion, celery, the 3 quartered carrots and the bay leaf. Tie the parsley and thyme together with twine and add to the pot, then cover and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Uncover, reduce the heat to medium low and cook 3 to 4 hours. Remove the bones and vegetables with a skimmer and discard, then strain the stock though a fine-mesh strainer. Return the stock to the pot and simmer over medium-high heat until reduced by half, 30 to 40 minutes (you'll have about 8 cups stock).
• About 45 minutes before serving, prepare the Dumplings. Keep covered with plastic wrap while you make the stew.
• Make the stew: Melt the butter in a large, wide pot over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook until soft, about 3 minutes. Add the flour and cook, stirring, 30 seconds. Gradually add the stock, stirring, and bring to a simmer. Season with salt and pepper. Add the sliced carrots and parsnips, cover and cook 5 minutes.
• Stir in the turkey meat, lemon juice and green beans. Add the Dumplings in a single layer (leave as squares or pat into rounds). Cover and simmer until the Dumplings are cooked through, about 20 minutes. Ladle into bowls; top with chives.
• Whisk the flour, herb mixture, baking powder, baking soda, salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cut in the butter with a pastry blender until sandy. Stir in the buttermilk.
• Turn out onto a floured piece of parchment paper. Pat into a 3/4-inch-thick rectangle.
• Cut the dough into rough 2-inch squares with a large knife. Cover with plastic wrap.

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.

Steps:

• In a 2 1/2-quart souffle dish with a tight-fitting lid, stir together pearl onions, peas, cranberries, celery, turkey or chicken broth, sage and thyme. Cook, covered, at 100 percent power in a high-power oven for 3 minutes.
• Remove from oven and uncover. Stir in turkey pieces. Re-cover and cook for 4 minutes longer, stirring once after first 2 minutes.
• Remove from oven and uncover. Place cornstarch and pepper in a small bowl. Stir in about 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid until no lumps remain. Stir mixture into the stew. Re-cover and cook for 3 minutes.
• Remove from oven and uncover. Stir in salt to taste.

Steps:

• In a nonstick skillet, brown turkey in oil; transfer to a 3-qt. slow cooker. Stir in the chili, tomatoes, peppers, onion, salsa, garlic, chili powder, cumin and salt., Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours, until turkey is no longer pink and vegetables are tender. Garnish with cilantro if desired.

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.
