Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 3 cups leftover turkey
- 2 large potatoes peeled and diced
- 2 large carrots peeled and diced
- 2 stalks celery peeled and diced
- 1 onion chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 cups turkey broth
- 1 1 ounce packet turkey gravy
- 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 cup frozen peas
- Parsley for garnish optional
Instructions
- Layer the ingredients: Add the turkey, potatoes, carrots, celery, onion, and garlic to your slow cooker.
- Mix the broth and seasonings: In a separate bowl, whisk together the turkey broth, gravy mix, and all your seasonings. Pour the mixture into the slow cooker, making sure everything is nicely coated.
- Cook it low and slow: Cover and cook on high for 4 hours or low for 6 hours, until the veggies are fork-tender and the turkey is perfectly juicy.
- Thicken the stew: In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and cornstarch until smooth, then stir it into the slow cooker.
- Add the peas: Stir in the peas, cover again, and cook for another 30 minutes to let the stew thicken and the flavors meld together.
- Serve and enjoy: Garnish with fresh herbs (or a sprinkle of cracked black pepper), grab a spoon, and dig in.
