Garlic Turkey Stew
Garlic turkey stew is a hearty main course of tender turkey breast, sweet onions and mixed root vegetables simmered in a fragrant garlic and thyme broth. The Thermomix TM7 chops the garlic and parsley in seconds, weighs the flour directly in the bowl and stews everything hands-free for a rich, silky result.
About this recipe
Garlic Turkey Stew Thermomix TM7 is the kind of recipe that turns a handful of humble ingredients into a deeply satisfying quick weeknight dinner. Tender pieces of skinless turkey breast are gently stewed with sweet onions, mixed root vegetables and a generous amount of garlic, all bathed in a thyme-perfumed broth lightly thickened with plain flour. Searching for turkey stew recipes that practically cook themselves? This all-in-one kitchen machine chops the garlic and fresh parsley in seconds, dices the onions without tears and then simmers the stew with steady, even heat while you set the table. The integrated scale weighs the flour and stock straight into the mixing bowl, so there is no extra washing up and no guesswork about quantities. The finished stew has a silky sauce that clings to every spoonful, with earthy root vegetables adding sweetness and body. Serve it with crusty bread, mashed potatoes or rice to soak up the garlicky juices, and finish with a scatter of the reserved fresh parsley for colour and brightness.
Preparation tips
- Cut the turkey breast into even, bite-sized pieces so every chunk stews at the same rate and stays juicy; pat the pieces dry before dusting them in flour for a sauce that thickens evenly.
- Reserve a few parsley leaves and a little thyme to scatter over the finished stew just before serving; the fresh herbs keep their bright colour and aroma that way instead of fading during stewing.
- This stew tastes even better the next day, so make a double batch and store it in the fridge in a sealed container; the garlic and root vegetable flavours deepen wonderfully overnight when gently reheated.
Recipe variations
- Gluten-free version: replace the plain flour with a gluten-free alternative such as rice flour or cornflour mixed with a splash of cold water, and serve the garlic turkey stew with mashed potatoes instead of bread.
- Festive winter variant: add diced parsnip and a handful of dried cranberries to the root vegetables, and finish the stew with a splash of cream and extra fresh thyme for a celebratory Sunday dinner.
