Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large (chopped) yellow onion
• 3 medium (peeled and sliced) carrots
• 3 medium (sliced) celery stalks
• 3 minced garlic cloves
• 1.5 pounds (cut into bite-sized pieces) turkey breast
• 6 cups chicken broth
• 4 medium (peeled and diced) potatoes
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 1 cup frozen corn
• 1 whole bay leaf
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon (adjust to taste) salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons water
• 2 tablespoons (chopped, for garnish) fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the chopped onion, sliced carrots, and celery to the pot. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant.

Step 4

Increase heat slightly and add the turkey pieces. Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the turkey is lightly browned on all sides.

Step 5

Pour in the chicken broth and stir to combine. Add the diced potatoes, bay leaf, dried thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 6

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for 25–30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

Step 7

Stir in the frozen peas and corn. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes to heat through.

Step 8

In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and water to make a slurry. Gradually stir this mixture into the stew to thicken it. Simmer for 3–5 more minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 9

Remove the bay leaf and discard. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.

Step 10

Ladle the stew into bowls, garnish with chopped fresh parsley, and serve hot.
