Ingredients:
1.5 lbs ground turkey (because why not make it a turkey party?)
1 onion, finely chopped (cue the tears of joy)
3 cloves garlic, minced (vampires, beware)
1 bell pepper, diced (we’re going for a colourful fiesta)
2 celery stalks, chopped (let’s get crunchy)
1 can diced tomatoes (the more, the merrier)
1 cup okra, sliced (get that Southern charm in there)

1 cup rice (because what’s a stew without a carb party?)
2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning (or more, if you’re feeling feisty)
1 teaspoon thyme (for a touch of sophistication)
Salt and pepper to taste (seasoning is an art, not a science)

Turkey Tango:
Heat a large pot over medium heat. Throw in your ground turkey and let it dance until it’s browned and crumbly. Think of it as the star performer stealing the show!

Pour in the chicken broth and let it all simmer together. This is where the magic happens as the flavours meld into a symphony of taste.
Cajun Carnival:
Sprinkle in the Cajun seasoning, thyme, salt, and pepper. Adjust the quantities based on your spice tolerance – we’re aiming for a flavour explosion, not a taste meltdown.
Rice Rendezvous:
Add the rice to the pot, letting it soak up all the flavourful goodness. It’s the perfect partner in crime for our Cajun carnival.
