<\/p>\n
This flavorful Slow Cooker Turkey Stew<\/strong> is a recipe that was adapted from a sweet and spicy pork stew I spotted in Real Simple Magazine years ago. My version with ground turkey has had lots of fans through the years. But I wasn’t that happy with the photos, and when I decided to update them I couldn’t resist updating the recipe a bit. And now it’s quite low in carbs! (If anyone was a fan of the earlier recipe<\/a>, you can still find it back in the archives.)<\/p>\n For the new lower-carb turkey stew recipe I replaced one of the sweet potatoes with a red bell pepper, which was a win in the flavor department besides being lower in carbs. And I had already modified this recipe to use more turkey compared to the other ingredients, which also reduces the net carbs. The old photos showed the stew served over cauliflower rice, which would definitely be delicious. But this time we just ate it in a bowl, and both Kara<\/a> and I loved the updated version!<\/p>\n The Asian-inspired turkey stew cooks on high in the slow cooker and it’s done in less than three hours. That makes it a good option to start after lunch on the weekend, and if you’re lucky you might have some leftovers to eat during the week!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n (This is only a list of ingredients; please scroll down for complete printable recipe. Or if you use the JUMP TO RECIPE<\/strong> link at the top of the page, it will take you directly to the complete recipe with ingredient amounts.)<\/p>\n When it’s served in a bowl without cauliflower rice, this updated recipe for turkey stew has only 11.4 net carbs and 46 grams of protein!<\/p>\n Of course this is not an authentically Asian dish, but the turkey stew has lots of Asian flavor notes from chili garlic sauce, ginger, garlic, and coconut milk, and sweet potatoes and red bell peppers are both used in Asian cuisine.<\/p>\n If you use the 2 tablespoons of Chili Garlic Sauce the recipe calls for, this is definitely a bit spicy. If you’re not sure how spicy you want it, I recommend you use less of the spicy sauce and then taste the stew when it’s done and see if you want to add more. And if you cut down the spicy Chili Garlic Sauce, I think you could even get some kids to eat this.<\/p>\n There are definitely some recipes where I feel that fresh ginger root and fresh garlic are a must. But for this turkey stew recipe I used Minced Ginger<\/a> (affiliate link) and Minced Garlic<\/a> (affiliate link) from a jar, and they both were great!<\/p>\n (This is only a summary of the steps for the recipe; please scroll down for complete printable recipe. Or if you use the JUMP TO RECIPE<\/strong> link at the top of the page, it will take you directly to the complete recipe.)<\/p>\n This slow cooker stew with ground turkey and lots of veggies can definitely be a one-dish meal, just served in a bowl.
