For a richer flavor, brown the turkey thigh cubes in a skillet with a little olive oil before adding them to the slow cooker. This adds depth and complexity to the final dish. Feel free to customize the vegetables to your liking. Other great additions include mushrooms, potatoes, sweet potatoes, or kale. If you don't have fresh dill, dried dill can be used. Use about 1/2 teaspoon of dried dill for every teaspoon of fresh dill. Serve this comforting stew over egg noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes. It's also delicious on its own with a side of crusty bread for dipping into the flavorful broth.

01
StepSeason the turkey thigh cubes generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Place them in the bottom of a slow cooker. (5 minutes)
02
StepPour the diced tomatoes (with their juice) evenly over the turkey. Layer the drained artichoke hearts on top of the tomatoes. (2 minutes)
03
StepAdd the cubed parsnips, baby carrots, yellow squash, and green bell pepper to the slow cooker. (10 minutes)
04
StepPour in enough chicken broth to just cover the vegetables and turkey. Crumble the chicken bouillon cubes into the broth. (3 minutes)
