Moroccan Turkey Stew

This stew is hearty, warming, packed full of nutrients, and brimming with flavors that will transport you directly to Morocco.

Tip: take the spices (including the ginger) aside and saute them in a near dry skillet on a low heat for a few minutes. This helps release their rich flavors. Then add your onions, celery, etc and saute them all together. This dish can also be left to cook in a slow cooker rather than simmering on the stove.
