Ingredients for One-Pot Hearty Turkey and Chickpea Tagine

Instructions

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground turkey (or stew meat) and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and fully cooked, about 5–7 minutes. Transfer the turkey to the slow cooker.
In the same skillet, add chopped onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Sauté for 3–4 minutes until softened and fragrant. Transfer to the slow cooker.
Add the ground cinnamon, cumin, turmeric, smoked paprika, coriander, and cayenne pepper (if using) to the slow cooker. Stir well to evenly coat the turkey and aromatics with the spices.
Pour in the diced tomatoes with their juices and chicken broth. Add chickpeas, carrots, red bell pepper, and chopped dried apricots. Stir everything to combine.
Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Cover and cook on low for 6 hours or on high for 3–4 hours, until vegetables are tender and flavors have melded beautifully.
Before serving, taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and parsley.
Serve the tagine hot over cooked couscous or rice, if desired, for a complete and satisfying meal. Leftovers reheat well and are perfect for meal prep throughout the week.
