It just hits the spot, and freezes up great for left overs. You can make up any size batch, nothing is too exact with this. My measurements are more of what I did, it's not set in stone.
It's hearty and healthy, enjoy.
1-2 Pounds of Ground Turkey
1 Pound of Jalapeno Sausage
1 large sweet potato (more or less)
3-4 cups of chicken broth (more for soup, less for stew)
1 can of organic tomatoes fire roasted pepper w/ green chilies (I used Muir Glen Organic)
1-2 cups baby carrots
1+ cups of bell peppers, I used red, yellow and green for color and taste. Use your favorite.
4-5 celery stalks
3-4 scallion/green onion (save the green for garnish)
3-4 garlic cloves, minced
3 tsp cumin
2 tsp chili powder
2 tsp coriander
2 tsp basil
1/4 cup fresh cilantro
Salt & Pepper
I mix all my spices in a bowl with the can of tomatoes before I add it to the crock pot. That way I can ensure every thing is soaked in flavor!
If you will be around while it's cooking give it a stir occasionally to make sure everything is distributed evenly.
I cooked on low for 8 hours. That should be the minimum time. For hearty stews I wouldn't recommend the 4 hours on high. You can, it just doesn't do it justice.
A fried egg and bacon is an amazing addition! Have a slice of Paleo Sandwich Bread to dunk!
Click image for nutrition. This is just an approximate! It depends on how much you end up making :-)
Wow, lots of protein! I love that. I'd just skip the cilantro because there are so many haters in my family!
