Ingredients

Meat and Vegetables

  • 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
  • 1 cup frozen peas

Broth and Seasonings

  • 2 cups turkey broth
  • 1 (1-ounce) packet turkey gravy mix
  • 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder

Thickening and Garnish

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • Parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Layer the ingredients: Add the leftover turkey, diced potatoes, carrots, celery, chopped onion, and minced garlic to your slow cooker, creating an even base for the stew to cook thoroughly.
  2. Mix the broth and seasonings: In a separate bowl, whisk together the turkey broth, turkey gravy mix, poultry seasoning, garlic powder, and onion powder. Pour this mixture over the layered ingredients in the slow cooker, ensuring everything is well coated with the flavorful broth.
  3. Cook it low and slow: Cover the slow cooker and cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 6 hours. This slow cooking will tenderize the vegetables and infuse the turkey with rich flavor, making the meat juicy and the veggies fork-tender.
  4. Thicken the stew: In a small bowl, whisk the heavy cream and cornstarch together until smooth. Stir this mixture into the slow cooker to thicken the stew and add a creamy texture.
  5. Add the peas: Stir in the frozen peas, cover the slow cooker again, and continue cooking for an additional 30 minutes. This allows the stew to thicken further and the peas to cook through while merging with other flavors.
  6. Serve and enjoy: Once the peas are tender and the stew has thickened, garnish with fresh parsley or cracked black pepper if desired, then ladle into bowls and serve hot for a cozy, comforting meal.

Notes

  • If you prefer a thicker stew, you can increase the cornstarch to 3 tablespoons.
  • Frozen peas can be substituted with fresh peas when in season for a fresher taste.
  • Adjust poultry seasoning and garlic powder to taste if you like stronger flavors.
  • Leftover cooked turkey works best, but you can also use cooked chicken as a substitute.
  • The stew stores well and tastes even better the next day after flavors meld.
