So as you many know-one of my new year’s resolutions was to add more variety to my diet. Lunch is a struggle for me in particular, as I like to keep things varied and not eat gluten-free bread every single day. One of the things I wanted to do more of, is batch cook and cook bigger meals; so I had plenty leftovers for lunch and to pop in the freezer.
I decided to turn to my trusty slow cooker and, if I’m honest, I just shoved a lot of things into the pot and hoped it turned out well! This gluten and dairy free slow cooker stew ended up being such a hit that I decided to go back and retrace my steps so I could share it in a recipe for you all today!
As well being completely gluten and dairy-free, by a happy coincidence, it is also low calorie and suitable for those of you on Slimming World. Trade the chopped garlic for garlic infused oil and it’s suitable for a low FODMAP diet.
It can be enjoyed by itself or served with rice, bread or gluten-free couscous.

Nutrition Notes
Pin to save for later.
- Sweet potato and carrots are all an excellent source of soluble fibre; this type of fibre is much easier to digest than insoluble fibre. Up to 1/2 cup is also low FODMAP friendly (which should work out fine as this recipe serves at least 4.
- If you are on a low residue diet, you should do well with cooked sweet potato and carrots but perhaps swap tinned tomatoes for a smoother passata instead.

Tried this recipe (Turkey Stew) last night. Absolutely delicious! Perfect after a long walk in the cold!
My New Years resolution was to use the slow cooker more. I think it will mean we eat healthier rather than grabbing something quick on the way home from work. Will be adding this one to my list. Thank you
no problem!
OMGosh looks sooo good! We’re vegetarian too, so I’m going to use tempura instead of turkey! Great that there are options for low-FODMAP! Thanks!
How much turkey weight wise?
I have a turkey tenderloin-
Is that enough?
Hi Lisa, I make this with whatever turkey I have leftover-whether it’s breast, mince, or leg etc. I am sorry but I’ve never actually weighed the turkey I just pop my leftovers in and it turns out great still
