New Mexican Stew Recipe with Ground Turkey and Green Chiles
I used ground turkey in my version, but chicken would work, as would ground pork. Vegan? Skip the meat and add your favorite beans. Serve this hearty- but light- stew with my Yeasted Quinoa-Cornbread recipe.
Turn on your slow cooker to high or low as you prefer.
Ingredients:
1 lb. fresh ground turkey, chicken or pork (use 1 15-oz can black beans
for vegan)1 onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder- hot or mild, to taste
1 1/2 cups peeled butternut squash, diced
2 large or white gold potatoes, peeled, diced
3 medium carrots, chopped
1 cup roasted chopped green chiles- mild or hot, to taste
1 quart chicken broth- or vegan broth
Sea salt and ground pepper, to taste
For serving:
Juice from 1 large juicy lime
2-3 tablespoons fresh chopped cilantro
1-2 teaspoons raw sugar or raw agave nectar
, as needed
Instructions:
First- brown the ground turkey in a skillet and pour off the fat, if any. Add the turkey to the slow cooker/Crock Pot and add the remaining ingredients- through sea salt and ground pepper. Stir to combine. Cover and cook- on high or low- according to manufacturer's instructions until done.
