Ingredients
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 3 medium carrots, peeled and sliced
- 2 stalks celery stalks, chopped
- 3 medium russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 14.5 oz can diced tomatoes, with juices
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground turkey and cook until browned, breaking it up into small pieces as it cooks. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Once cooked, drain excess fat if necessary and transfer the turkey to the crock pot.
Step 2
In the same skillet, sauté the diced onions for 2-3 minutes until they become translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant. Transfer the onions and garlic to the crock pot.
Step 3
Add the carrots, celery, and potatoes to the crock pot. These hearty vegetables will form the base of the meal.
Step 4
Pour the chicken broth and diced tomatoes (with juices) into the crock pot. Stir to combine.
Step 5
Sprinkle in the Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well, ensuring the seasonings are evenly distributed.
Step 6
Cover the crock pot with a lid and cook on low heat for 6-7 hours or on high heat for 3-4 hours, until the vegetables are tender.
Step 7
About 30 minutes before the end of the cooking time, add the frozen peas to the crock pot. Stir to mix them in and allow them to heat through.
Step 8
Once cooking is complete, taste and adjust the seasonings if needed. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
