A rich and flavorful stew combining sweet potatoes, zucchini, and a creamy peanut butter base, perfect for a cozy meal.
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Use a neutral oil like canola or vegetable oil for a clean flavor.
Add the chopped onion, green pepper, and minced garlic to the pot and sauté until softened.
Stir frequently to prevent the garlic from burning.
Stir in the ground ginger, chili powder, and cumin, cooking for an additional minute to release their aromas.
Toast the spices briefly to enhance their flavor.
Add the diced sweet potatoes and tomato paste, stirring to coat the vegetables evenly.
Cut the sweet potatoes into uniform pieces for even cooking.
Pour in enough water to just cover the vegetables, bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cover.
Check occasionally and stir to prevent sticking.
In a separate pan, cook the ground turkey until browned, then drain any excess fat.
Break up the turkey into small pieces for even cooking.
Add the cooked turkey and sliced zucchini to the stew, cooking for an additional 15 minutes.
Ensure the zucchini is tender but not overcooked.
In a small bowl, mix the peanut butter with a ladle of the stew liquid until smooth, then stir back into the pot.
This step ensures the peanut butter blends smoothly into the stew.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
Taste frequently to ensure the seasoning is balanced.
Serve the stew hot over cooked rice, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
Garnish with chopped peanuts or cilantro for added flavor and texture.
