- Black Pepper (Omit for AIP)
Instructions
- Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium/high heat.
- Add the onion and cook until softened and golden, about 8 minutes.
- Add garlic, mushrooms, season with salt, and cook until mushrooms have released their water and are beginning to brown, another 8 minutes.
- Slowly pour in broth, continually stirring.

Notes
- This recipe was created to use up leftover turkey from Thanksgiving. Any poultry will work just as great – poached or rotisserie chicken are good options.
- For additional bulk, add in your favorite cubed root veggie and account for the additional starch. Turnips, parsnips, rutabaga, potato, whatever you like that fits in your way of eating will work great.
- You could also add in a cup of heavy cream for a richer stew if you can tolerate dairy.
