Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 pound ground turkey
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 8 ounces baby bella or white mushrooms, sliced
• 1 cup cooked or canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
• 28 ounces crushed tomatoes
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the ground turkey to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it into smaller pieces with a spoon, about 5-7 minutes. Transfer the turkey to the crock pot.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the diced onion and sauté until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms, and cook for another 4-5 minutes until the mushrooms release their moisture and begin to brown. Transfer the mixture to the crock pot.

Step 4

Add the chickpeas, crushed tomatoes, chicken broth, dried basil, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the crock pot. Stir all the ingredients together until well combined.

Step 5

Cover the crock pot with the lid and set it to cook on LOW for 6 hours or HIGH for 3 hours. Stir occasionally if possible.

Step 6

Once the sauce has finished cooking, taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Step 7

Serve the turkey mushroom and chickpea sauce over pasta, rice, or with crusty bread. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
