Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 pound Turkey breast, boneless and skinless
• 1 large Onion, chopped
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 3 medium Carrots, sliced
• 3 stalks Celery stalks, sliced
• 2 medium Potatoes, diced
• 4 cups Low sodium chicken broth
• 1 can (14.5 oz) Tomatoes, diced (no salt added)
• 1 leaf Bay leaf
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 cup Parsley, chopped
• 1 cup Frozen peas

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Cut the turkey breast into bite-sized pieces and add to the pot. Brown the turkey evenly on all sides by cooking for about 5-7 minutes. Remove the turkey pieces from the pot and set aside.

Step 3

In the same pot, add onion and garlic. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.

Step 4

Add the carrots and celery, and continue to cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 5

Add the diced potatoes, low sodium chicken broth, diced tomatoes, bay leaf, thyme, and black pepper to the pot. Stir well to combine.

Step 6

Return the browned turkey pieces to the pot, ensuring they are submerged in the liquid.

Step 7

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover. Simmer the stew for about 45 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the turkey is cooked through.

Step 8

About 5 minutes before serving, add the frozen peas to the stew and cook until they are heated through.

Step 9

Remove the bay leaf, taste, and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 10

Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
