– Comforting. Rich and savory flavors come together in this stew, making it the ultimate comfort food.
– Easy. Let your slow cooker do the work while you go about your day. Just a few minutes of prep, and you’ll have a delicious meal waiting.
– Versatile. Use leftover turkey from the holidays or start with raw turkey to make this anytime dish.
Start by peeling and chopping the potatoes and carrots into bite-sized pieces. Dice the celery and onion, and mince the garlic. If you’re using raw turkey, cut it into chunks.
Add the turkey, potatoes, carrots, celery, onion, and garlic to the slow cooker. Sprinkle in the fresh thyme and add the bay leaves. Pour in the chicken broth.
Add salt and pepper to taste. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the vegetables are tender and the turkey is fully cooked or heated through.
If you prefer a thicker stew, mix cornstarch with a bit of water to create a slurry. Stir it into the stew in the last 30 minutes of cooking and let it thicken.
