African Turkey Stew Ingredients

• 3 smoked turkey legs, cut into 1-inch thick pieces

• 4 chicken bouillon cubes

• 4 red bell peppers - cored, seeded, and cut into chunks

• 6 tomatoes, cut into chunks

• 1 onion, cut into chunks

• 4 habanero peppers, seeded and chopped (wear gloves)

• 1 tablespoon minced garlic

• 2 tablespoons tomato paste

• 1 cup vegetable oil

• salt to taste

How to Make African Turkey Stew

1. Place the turkey legs into a large saucepan, pour in enough water to barely cover, and add the bouillon cubes. Bring to a boil over medium heat, and cook until the water has nearly evaporated, about 30 minutes. Place the red bell peppers, tomatoes, onion, habanero peppers, garlic, and tomato paste into a blender, and blend until the vegetables are pureed. Be careful because the habanero peppers are very hot -- dont touch your eyes after handling peppers.

2. Heat the vegetable oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat, and pour the blended mixture into the oil. Reduce heat and simmer until the oil separates and the sauce begins to fry, about 30 minutes; stir the turkey into the sauce, and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes to blend the flavors. Season to taste with salt.

African Turkey Stew Reviews

• I make this all the time using canned crushed tomatoes instead of fresh. If you go to an international food store, you can get african red pepper. Use a couple of tablespoons if you like it hot. Also tastes good with chunks of fried beef roast and tripe.

• I made this dish a day before I actually served it to my family. All the flavors were able to settle in and really come together. At first I was considering not adding the salt to season with the smoked turkey legs however I added it and I feel it was just the kick the stew needed. My family loved it. My son got seconds my husband took some to work for lunch. I only put in two peppers as I had a three year old to consider and she enjoyed it just fine. Next time I think instead of turkey I will use grilled chicken and shrimp as I dont want to get into the habit of serving a meat that is so salty.Once you puree everything it smells like a great salsa that you just want to chill and dip chips in however once you heat it up it takes on a different smell. Any meat probably could go with it. You dont need the entire one cup of oil. You could certainly get away with half a cup. Yummy dish Will make this again. Thanks for posting this great recipe.

• I guess i was expecting more from the dish. I made it according to the recipe next time I make this dish Ill have to find ways to modify it to my households liking. Will try it again

• Amazing recipe Made it last night. The thing I did different was use cut up chicken breast and spicy turkey sausage, and added cilantro to my Jasmin rice. The sauce stayed the same and It was absolutely DELICIOUS I shared at work (those who can handle it) loved it too. Thanx :-)
