Ingredients
  

  • 600 g turkey, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 300 g pumpkin, cubed
  • 200 g cooked whole chestnuts
  • 1 onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 carrots, sliced into rounds

  • 20 cl chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon flour
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Equipment

  • Large pot or Dutch oven
  • Wooden spoon
  • Sharp knife

Method
 

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat and add the sliced onions until translucent.
  2. Brown the turkey pieces on all sides in the pot.
  3. Sprinkle flour over the turkey and stir well, then gradually pour in the hot chicken broth while whisking to avoid lumps.
  4. Add the carrots, pumpkin cubes, and chestnuts to the pot along with thyme and bay leaf, then cover and simmer for about 20 minutes.
  5. Stir occasionally until vegetables are tender and pumpkin is soft enough to mash slightly.
  6. Slowly add the heavy cream, stirring as you go, and season with salt and pepper.
  7. Simmer for a few more minutes until the sauce is velvety and adjust the seasoning to taste.
  8. Serve the stew hot, garnished with fresh herbs as desired.

Notes

For an extra depth of flavor, toast the chestnuts lightly before adding them to the stew. Feel free to substitute pumpkin with butternut squash or another winter squash, and use coconut cream for a dairy-free option. The stew is perfect for meal prep and reheats beautifully. Store in an airtight container for up to three days in the refrigerator or freeze for longer storage.
