Instructions
How to Make Crock Pot Shipwreck Stew
Begin by chopping your fresh vegetables like potatoes and carrots. In a skillet, brown the lean ground turkey over medium heat until it's no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
Layer the browned turkey in your crock pot, followed by the chopped potatoes and carrots. Pour in the low sodium broth and add the tomato paste, stirring gently to combine.
Set your crock pot to low for 6 hours or high for 3 hours. Check for the tenderness of the potatoes; they should be fork-tender when cooked.
If your stew seems too thin once cooked, cook uncovered on high for an additional 20 minutes to thicken it up to a perfect, hearty consistency.
Ladle your comforting stew into bowls, paired with crusty bread or over a bed of steamed rice for a complete meal. Enjoy it warm with loved ones!
Notes
For extra flavor, garnish with fresh herbs like parsley before serving.
