#### Ingredients:
– 2 lbs turkey thighs (or breast), cut into bite-sized pieces
– 3 tbsp olive oil
– 1 large onion, finely chopped
– 3 garlic cloves, minced
– 4 carrots, sliced
– 3 celery stalks, sliced
– 4 cups low-sodium chicken or turkey broth
– 1 cup diced tomatoes (canned or fresh)
– 2 potatoes, peeled and chopped into cubes
– 1 tsp dried thyme
– 1 tsp dried rosemary
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 2 tbsp flour (for thickening)
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

#### Instructions:

1. **Prep Your Turkey:** Start by patting the turkey pieces dry with a paper towel. This step is crucial to ensure we get that crispy texture later on. Season the pieces generously with salt and pepper.

2. **Sear for Crispiness:** Heat 2 tbsp of olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the turkey pieces in batches – careful not to overcrowd the pot – and sear them until they’re golden brown on all sides. This should take about 5-7 minutes per batch. Once done, set the turkey aside on a plate.

3. **Time for Veggies:** In the same pot, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Toss in the chopped onion, garlic, carrots, and celery. Sauté until the veggies are tender and the onions are translucent, about 5-7 minutes.

4. **Let’s Build that Flavor:** Stir in the flour to the veggies to help thicken your stew. Cook for another minute while stirring. Add the turkey pieces back into the pot and give everything a good mix.

5. **Broth and Simmer:** Pour in the chicken or turkey broth and diced tomatoes. Add the potatoes, thyme, and rosemary. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.

6. **Low & Slow:** Reduce the heat to a simmer and let it cook for about 30-40 minutes, or until the turkey is cooked through, and the potatoes are tender. Your house will start to smell heavenly right about now!

7. **Final Touches:** Give the stew a final taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Sprinkle with fresh parsley for a burst of color and flavor.

#### Helpful Tips:

– **Batch Cooking:** This recipe is perfect for batch cooking. Make a big pot on Sunday, and you’ve got lunch or dinner sorted for a few days.
– **Storage:** Store leftover stew in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. It also freezes beautifully for up to 3 months.
– **Spice it Up:** If you like a bit of heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes along with the spices.
