With three hits of mushroom and a bevy of vegetables, this one-pot meal is sure to please any mushroom lover! The natural richness of turkey and a kiss of cocoa make this meal special, and because of the potatoes you don't have to make a side dish! Ingredients:
1/2 ounce dried porcini mushrooms |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
3/4 lb raw skinless turkey (breasts and legs) |
1 medium sweet onion, minced |
1 red bell pepper, julienned |
2 carrots, diced |
1 large celery rib, minced |
4 garlic cloves, minced |
2 tablespoons minced flat leaf parsley |
2 sprigs fresh rosemary leaves or 1 teaspoon dried rosemary |
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme |
1/2 teaspoon dried mustard powder |
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika |
1 pinch red pepper flakes |
3/4 lb button mushroom, sliced |
1/2 lb shiitake mushroom, stemmed and sliced |
1/2 cup red wine |
28 ounces no-salt-added diced tomatoes |
1/2 tablespoon cocoa powder |
3 tablespoons tomato paste |
salt and pepper |
1 red potatoes, cut into small cubes (keep skin on) |
Directions:
1. In a spice mill or coffee grinder reserved for spices, grind the porcinis to a fine powder. Set aside.

6. Add the garlic, parsley, rosemary, thyme, mustard powder, paprika and red pepper flakes, stirring well. Salt to taste.
7. Cover and cook over low heat, stirring often, for 8-10 minutes.
8. Stir in the sliced mushrooms, increase heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender.
9. Add wine and bring to a boil.
10. Cook, stirring vigorously, until the wine has reduced by about half.
11. Add the diced tomatoes, ground mushroom powder, cocoa, tomato paste and salt and pepper to taste.
12. Return the turkey pieces to the pot with the potato cubes and stir well.
13. Cover and simmer 30 minutes, until the turkey and potatoes are done.
