Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

A pot-au-feu is one of those French family favorite feel-good comfort stews (typically made with beef) that simmers slowly in the oven or in a slow-cooker for a long time and fills the whole house with wonderful smells. I make mine with turkey (you can also make it with chicken, see my tip below) and lots of beans and it’s absolutely divine! I love to cook it in a slow-cooker and have it ready when I come home after a long busy day on a cold winter evening! This one has a Provençal flavor with garlic, red wine, tomatoes, cannellini beans and of course herbes de Provence. I like to serve it with my Simply Quinoa, Simply Sweet Potato and Simply Radicchio as side dishes but any grilled or oven roasted veggies will do too! What a satisfying complete meal on a blustery day!

Turkey Bean Pot-au-Feu

Cuisinicity Tip:I like Muir Glen Organic® for my canned diced tomatoes (unsalted). If you can only find it with added salt, that's OK but you'll have to adjust the salt content in the recipe to make up for it. *Cuisinicity Tip 2: You can also use 6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs instead (organic, free-range of course!), if it will make it easier for you to serve in 6 equal portions.

Ingredients

  • 3 lbs organic free-range Turkey Breast (split bone in, skinless)*
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cups petites carrots whole
  • 1 large yellow onion chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic thickly sliced
  • 1 Tbsp herbes de provence
  • 2 bay bay leaves
  • 3/4 tsp coarse salt
  • 1 28oz can diced tomatoes with their juice (unsalted, no sugar)
  • 3/4 cup fat free chicken broth
 unsalted, no added sugar
  • 1 1/4 cup red wine
  • 3 15 oz cans cannelini beans, well rinsed and drained
  • Fresh sprigs of thyme to taste optional

Instructions

  • Heat olive oil in a large baking pan that can also go in the oven (or better yet, use the insert of your slow-cooker if it can go on top of the stove --it will save you an extra pan to wash later!) and sauté the chopped onion, garlic and carrots for a few minutes.
  • Rinse and dry the turkey breast and add it, along with the herbes de Provence,bay leaves, fresh thyme and salt and continue to cook for 5 minutes.
  • Turn the turkey breast over to brown on the other side for an additional 5 minutes.
  • Add canned diced tomatoes, wine and chicken broth, stir and bring to a quick boil.
  • Add the drained canned beans, gently stir and turn off the stove.
  • if using a slow-cooker, transfer the insert to the slow cooker, cover and cook on low setting for 3 hours.
  • If using a regular oven, transfer baking pan to a 350 preheated oven and cook for 45 minutes to 1 hour, uncovered.

    Hi Catherine,

    I am an IIN student, just saw your presentation and decided to check out your site. What a lovely family you have! These recipes look yummy and simple. Do you change these up? If so, I should save some of those that are making my mouth water.

    Thank you!

    I saved this recipe some time ago, and I finally made it yesterday. It was absolutely delicious!! I followed your recipe to the letter except I added 8oz of sliced mushrooms. I can never get enough mushrooms! I highly recommend this recipe and I think Catherine for sharing it. It will be one of our go to dishes in the future.

      Hi Maura, You could, I suppose, but I think it may end up a little dry.

    Why do none of these recipes include the stats…ie calories, fat, etc etc.

    I made this for dinner tonight and it was delicious! I live in Australia and we don’t have a lot of fresh turkey products here, but I managed to find turkey shanks and used them. It was absolutely moreish. I am a currently studying a master’s in nutrition and I really appreciate your recipes as they all align with evidence based nutrition studies. Thank you!!

    Great! I think I might try this with frozen chicken breasts – that way I could let it cook while I am at work!

      I don’t think you can do that because you need to first sautee the turkey or chicken in your case so that it browns a little first. But all the prep takes all of 5-10 minutes and then you can let the slow-cooker take over and do there set for you!
