Leftover veg and turkey stew

After a brief bout of food poisoning/virus leaving me a bit weak and dehydrated I needed to eat something easy to digest, nutritious and palatable. My criteria for the ingredients was purely what I had left in the fridge and cupboards and what I actually felt like I could stomach. It turned out to be a relatively tasty and feel good stew, although it may taste completely different when I’m feeling totally better again!

Ingredients

Half small chopped onion

1 sliced carrot

1/4 medium butternut squash diced

3 small beetroots (preprepared kind for salads) diced

1 large turkey breast sliced into small pieces

Vegetable stock

Dash of sage, thyme, chilli (easy on the chilli – just enough for a bit of warmth), 1 bayleaf

Salt, pepper and parsley for seasoning

Directions

Sweat the onions in a little butter for a few mins. Then add the veg until they start going soft on the outside. Add the turkey and cook further until even colour change. Add herbs and stir in. Add vegetable stock (with water) until all ingredients are covered. Simmer for at least 25mins (I left mine on for over an hour and was still ok).

This may need a fair bit of work but tasted good enough for today and certainly helped get some good stuff in me!
