Nigerian Turkey Stew is a tomato and pepper stew cooked with Turkey parts and simmered. This Nigerian tomato stew is easy to make and you will love the outcome of this recipe. You see, you only need few ingredients and you have great tasting stew you can use to eat almost any food.

Some call this type of stew African Stew, Tomato stew, pepper stew, fried stew or even red stew but whatever name it's called, Nigerians and Africans at large can all agree on one thing, this type of stew is a lifesaver in many homes.

Nigerian Turkey Stew

One of the questions i get asked a lot is how i get the rich red colour for stews and the simple answer is pepper selection! You see the colour, flavour and taste of your Nigerian stew starts from when you are selecting peppers. I always use higher ratio of long peppers or bell peppers to tomatoes and scotch bonnet (ata rodo).

If you are Vegan, Vegetarian or plant based, you can skip the Turkey part and make just the stew.

For this Nigerian Stew recipe, i boiled and grilled the turkey rather than fried Turkey and that is because I usually opt for healthier version. Talking healthy, If you'd like to Lose weight on a Nigerian Diet, check out my other brand HERE

Other variations of this soup are Nigerian Beef Stew, Nigerian Fish Stew, Nigerian Chicken Stew, Nigerian Goat Stew, cooked with Beef, Fish, Chicken, Goat respectively.

    This looks delicious, I like spice but not sure how much scotch bonnet I could tolerate. Either way I definitely want to try this out!
