Turkey Stew
- 1 chicken bouillon cube
- 1 cup hot water
- 2 cups cooked turkey
- 1 large turkey bone
- 2 large carrots, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
- 4 stalks celery, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1 tomatoes, chopped
- 3 tablespoons flour
- 1/2 cup uncooked white rice
- 1/2 cup uncooked wild rice
- 2 teaspoons parsley
- 2 teaspoons oregano
- 4 cups water
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (more or less, to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper (more or less, to taste)
- Dissolve the bouillon in the hot water to make a broth; set aside.
- Place the turkey meat, turkey bone, all the vegetables, flour, both rices, spices and chicken broth in a large kettle or Dutch oven
- Add as much of the 4 cups water as you prefer for desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper.
- Simmer over low heat for 30 to 45 minutes, or until the carrots and celery are tender and the turkey meat is heated through.
- Remove the turkey bone before serving stew.
- NOTE - you can easily use pasta in place of the rice. Just omit both the white and wild rices, and add about 1 cup uncooked egg noodles (or other pasta).
- TIP - I like to use a combination of white and dark meat when making this turkey stew, as I think it produces a much tastier stew. But you could easily use only white or only dark meat, to suit your taste buds.
- TIP - if you're watching your sodium intake, you can easily omit the chicken buillon cube in hot water and replace it with 1 cup of low-sodium canned chicken broth. For our health, we should consider this option but we are die-hard fans of this recipe and haven't been able to bring ourselves to do that -- at least not yet!
