The first new recipe I tried was gobbled up long before I could remember to reach for my camera.  So let's start with recipe #2! :)

Roast Turkey Stew

Makes 4 servings

2 tsp vegetable oil

2 cups halved large or whole small mushrooms

1 cup chopped onions

12 ounces skinless boneless cooked turkey breast, cut into chunks

2 cups baby carrots

1 cup frozen baby onions

1/2 cup chopped celery

1/2 cup canned brown gravy

1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth

1/4 cup dry red wine

1/2 tsp sea salt

1/2 tsp dried thyme leaves

1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper

1/4 tsp diced rosemary leaves

1/2 cup frozen peas

1. In large nonstick skillet, heat oil; add mushrooms and chopped onions. Cook over medium high heat, stirring frequently, 4-5 minutes, until liquid is evaporated and vegetables are golden brown.

2. Add turkey, carrots , baby onions, celery, gravy, broth, wine, salt, thyme, pepper and rosemary; bring liquid to a boil. Reduce heat to low; simmer, stirring occasionally, 15 minutes until vegetables are tender.

3. Stir peas into turkey mixture; simmer 10 minutes until peas are heated through and tender. 

As with all recipes I modified it just slightly. I am not fond of mushrooms so I substituted frozen corn; cooked with the peas. Serving over mashed potatoes makes it extra delicious!
