Turkey with Potatoes and Peas

I love a good stew, and this recipe is almost stew-like. Served over rice, it's a perfect easy fall meal. Next time I'll add a little more flavor by cooking a white onion with more garlic before adding the tomato/garlic/cilantro mixture, and using stock instead of water.

Turkey with Potatoes and Peas

Ingredients:

• 1 medium tomato
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1/4 cup fresh cilantro
• 20 oz 93% lean ground turkey
• 4 medium scallions, chopped
  
• 1 cup fresh peas (I used frozen)
  
• 1 potato, peeled and diced into 1 inch cubes
• 8 oz can tomato sauce
• 3/4 cup water
  
• 1/2 tsp cumin, or to taste
• salt, to taste
• 1 bay leaf

Directions:

Finely chop tomato, garlic and cilantro. In a large skillet, brown turkey and season with salt and cumin to taste. When meat is browned and cooked through add scallions, chopped tomato mixture, peas, potato, tomato sauce, water, cumin, salt and bay leaf.Cover and simmer over medium-low heat until potatoes are cooked through, about 25 minutes stirring occasionally. Add more water if needed. Remove bay leaf and serve over rice.
