Turkey, Cannellini Bean & Vegetable Stew
A hearty tomato-based stew with lean turkey, cannellini beans, carrots and courgette.
Lean turkey provides protein, while cannellini beans contribute both fibre and plant protein. Combining beans with different vegetables makes this a filling and balanced cold-weather meal.
Method
- 1 Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.
- 2 Add the turkey mince and cook for 5–6 minutes, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon into small pieces, until no pink remains.
- 3 Add the carrots and courgette and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until beginning to soften.
- 4 Stir in the tomatoes, cannellini beans, stock, oregano and thyme.
- 5 Bring to a simmer and cook gently for 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and the turkey is completely cooked through.
- 6 Season with black pepper and finish with a scatter of parsley before serving.
