Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground turkey
• 3 medium Russet potatoes
• 4 medium Carrots
• 3 pieces Celery stalks
• 1 large Yellow onion
• 3 pieces Garlic cloves
• 1 14.5-ounce can Canned diced tomatoes
• 4 cups Chicken broth
• 1 cup Frozen green beans
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the ground turkey and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned and fully cooked. Season lightly with a pinch of salt and pepper, then remove from heat.

Step 2

Peel the potatoes and carrots, then chop them into bite-sized pieces. Chop the celery into small slices. Dice the yellow onion and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

In the crock pot, combine the browned ground turkey, chopped potatoes, carrots, celery, and onion. Add the minced garlic, canned diced tomatoes (including their juices), chicken broth, and frozen green beans.

Step 4

Sprinkle in the paprika, dried thyme, salt, and ground black pepper. Stir everything together to combine evenly.

Step 5

Cover the crock pot with the lid and set it to cook on low for 6 hours, or on high for 3 hours.

Step 6

Check the tenderness of the vegetables after cooking. If they are fork-tender and the flavors are well combined, your stew is ready to serve.

Step 7

Ladle the stew into bowls and serve hot. Enjoy with crusty bread or crackers for an even heartier meal.
