Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs. lean ground turkey
- 1 T olive oil (divided)
- 1 small onion, chopped in pieces about 1/2 inch
- 1 large orange sweet potato
- 1 large red bell pepper
- 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 1/2 cup chicken broth

- 2 T Chili Garlic Sauce
- 2 tsp. minced ginger

- 1 can unsweetened coconut milk

Instructions
- Heat 2 tsp. olive oil or peanut oil in frying pan and cook the ground turkey over medium-high heat until it’s nicely browned, about 7-8 minutes.
- While the turkey is browning, peel the sweet potato and cut into 1 inch pieces. Remove seeds and stem area from the red bell pepper and cut into 1 inch pieces.
- Spray slow cooker insert with non-stick spray or olive oil. When the ground turkey is nicely browned and all liquid has evaporated, transfer turkey into the slow cooker.
- Add the other tsp. of oil to the frying pan and brown the onion, then add it to the slow cooker with the turkey.
- Add chopped sweet potatoes and red bell pepper pieces to the slow cooker.
- Mix together the soy sauce, chicken stock, Monkfruit sweetener, Chili Garlic Sauce, minced ginger, and minced garlic.
- Pour the sauce over the turkey and vegetables in the slow cooker, and stir to combine.
- Cover the slow cooker and cook on HIGH for about 2 hours, or a few minutes longer if needed, until the sweet potatoes are soft when pierced with a fork.
- While the stew is cooking, wash green onions if needed and cut into short slices.
- When sweet potatoes are done, add the can of coconut milk to the slow cooker, turn heat to low, and cook for an additional 30 minutes.
- Stir in the sliced green onions and serve the Turkey Stew hot, over cauliflower rice if desired, garnished with more sliced green onions.
Notes
- Use gluten-free soy sauce if desired.
- Low-sodium chicken broth can be used if preferred.
- For a richer flavor, browning the onions is recommended.
