16 ingredients
8 steps

Ingredients

  • 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)

Directions

  1. 1
    Dissolve the bouillon in the hot water to make a broth; set aside.
  2. 2
    Place the turkey meat, turkey bone, all the vegetables, flour, both rices, spices and chicken broth in a large kettle or Dutch oven
  3. 3
    Add as much of the 4 cups water as you prefer for desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. 4
    Simmer over low heat for 30 to 45 minutes, or until the carrots and celery are tender and the turkey meat is heated through.
  5. 5
    Remove the turkey bone before serving stew.
  6. 6
    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).
  7. 7
    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.
  8. 8
    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!
