Ground Turkey Gravy with Peas

Serves 4

Ingredients:

1lb ground turkey
6 oz frozen or fresh peas
1 large yellow onion, chopped
4 large cloves garlic, minced
1/4 all purpose flour or gluten free flour (e.g Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Baking Flour available at health food store)
2 cups water
2T olive oil
Salt and pepper
4 raw eggs (optional)

Directions:

1) Heat olive oil in a pan over medium high heat.
2) Add chopped onion and minced garlic, cook until onions are starting to soften.
3) Add ground turkey, break up in pan, and cook until well browned. Add salt and pepper.
4) Add 1/4 cup of flour and quickly stir until the turkey mixture is coated with flour.
5) Add 1/2 cup of water to the pan and scrap the brown bits that form at the bottom of the pan. This water will be absorbed by the turkey mixture and will also evaporate. Add the remaining 1.5 cups of water and the peas, stir well. Cook until peas are tender (3-5 minutes). Check the consistency of the mixture. If the mixture is too dry, add more water until the sauce resembles texture of gravy.
6) Salt and pepper if needed.

I like to serve this turkey gravy over hot rice. To add extra richness and silkiness, crack a raw egg over each serving of piping hot turkey gravy. Stir to combine.
