kcalIngredients
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 red onion, cut into 1/2-inch dice
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 carrot, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch dice
1 medium Idaho potato (about 9 ounces), cut into 1/2-inch dice
3 assorted bell peppers, seeds removed, cut into 1/2-inch dice
6 ounces button mushrooms, stems trimmed, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
8 ounces ground turkey
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 cup dry sherry
Homemade or low-sodium canned chicken stock, skimmed of fat
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon chile powder
1/4 teaspoon paprika
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
6 large eggs (optional), poached or “fried” in a nonstick skillet with cooking spray
Directions
- Heat the unsalted butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the red onion, garlic, and carrot, cooking until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the diced potato and bell peppers, cooking for another 7-8 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
- Add the mushrooms and ground turkey, cooking until the turkey is browned and fully cooked, about 5 minutes.
- Sprinkle the flour over the mixture, stirring constantly for 1-2 minutes.
- Pour in the dry sherry, followed by just enough chicken stock to create a thick, slightly saucy consistency. Season with coarse salt, black pepper, chile powder, and paprika.
- Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the flavors blend and the vegetables are fully cooked.
- Stir in the chopped parsley before serving.
- Optional: Top each serving with a poached or fried egg for a complete, protein-rich meal.
