Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 8; 1 1/2 cups per serving

Ingredients

2 teaspoons canola or corn oil
1 medium onion, chopped
4 cups Chicken Broth (page 50) or commercial fat-free, low-sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/4 pounds cooked turkey breast, cooked without salt, skin and all visible fat discarded, cut into bite-size pieces
6 medium ribs of celery, coarsely chopped
6 medium carrots, coarsely chopped
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1 medium dried bay leaf
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon pepper
6 medium potatoes, coarsely chopped
1 1/2 cups frozen green peas

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    In a stockpot, heat the oil over medium-high heat, swirling to coat the bottom. Cook the onion for 3 minutes, or until soft, stirring frequently.

    Step 2

    Pour in the broth. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.

    Step 3

    In a small bowl, whisk together the water and flour. Whisk into the broth mixture. Cook for 5 minutes, or until the broth just begins to thicken, whisking constantly.

    Step 4

    Stir in the turkey, celery, carrots, poultry seasoning, bay leaf, garlic powder, and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes, or until heated through.

    Step 5

    Stir in the potatoes. Cook, covered, for 30 minutes, or until the celery, carrots, and potatoes are tender, stirring occasionally.

    Step 6

    Stir in the peas. Cook for 5 minutes. Discard the bay leaf before serving the stew.
