Turkey Stew

There are two parts to this recipe. The first part is to make broth with your leftover turkey bones. If you don’t have the bones on hand and would still like to make this soup, jump to the next step and use 8 cups of chicken broth and 2-3 cups chopped turkey.

Ingredients

For the broth:

• ▢ Turkey carcass or rib cage bone-sets from 2 turkey breasts
• ▢ 9 cups water
• ▢ 2 tablespoons granulated chicken bouillon read labels carefully for MSG and gluten
• ▢ 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• ▢ 1 large onion finely diced

For stew, add the following:

• ▢ 2 cups peeled and diced sweet potato
• ▢ 1 28-ounce can Italian tomatoes diced or stewed
• ▢ 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• ▢ 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• ▢ 1 tablespoon  chili powder
• ▢ 1 15-ounce can corn (with liquid)
• ▢ 4 garlic cloves chopped

Instructions

For the broth:

• ▢
  Use a 6-quart slow cooker. Add all ingredients to the slow cooker insert and cook on low overnight, or for about 8 hours. Unplug the slow cooker and remove the stoneware insert. Uncover and let cool. When cool enough to "go fishing," remove all the bones from the broth, leaving the meat inside the crock. (If your slow cooker releases a lot of steam and condensation while cooking, put a layer of foil or parchment paper down over the top then place the lid on so you don't lose your cooking liquid.)

For the stew:

• ▢
  Add all of the ingredients to the broth in the slow cooker insert. Cook on low for 6-7 hours, or until the sweet potatoes have reached desired tenderness and flavors have melded.
• ▢
  Serve in wide soup bowls. (Homemade gluten-free cornbread makes a delicious accompaniment!)
