GAPS Turkey Stew

My husband started the GAPS diet 9 months ago in an effort to increase the amount of foods he could eat.  The premise of the diet is to heal the gut and restore healthy bacteria and the foods at the beginning are basic, cooked well and full of nourishing fat.  This stew was by far one of the best that I had made and it filled our home with such an amazing aroma that the Purolator delivery guy had to ask what I was cooking.

The best part is that you can put it all in the slow cooker and enjoy it several hours later.

Turkey Stew

8 cups homemade turkey broth
1 lbs of turkey meat chopped in small pieces
4 cups broccoli
2 large leeks chopped
3 cups crimini mushrooms chopped
1 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp pepper
2 cloves garlic minced
2 tbsp beef tallow

Place the broth, spices and meet in the slow cooker and place on low for 6-8 hours.  Add the broccoli, leeks, mushrooms and tallow and cook on high for 30-45 minutes.
