Ingredients

For the Stew

  • 1 pound Lean Ground Turkey Can be swapped with ground beef or plant-based meat.

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.
