Instructions

Add streaky smoked bacon to a large casserole and cook over low heat until the bacon starts rendering its fat and crisps up. Transfer the bacon to a cutting board once cooked and roughly chop.
Pour a splash of wine to the pan to deglaze, scraping the any browned bits loose as you cook it down. Add the butter throw in the onion, celery, carrots and potatoes once it has melted. Sprinkle the vegetables with the salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika and thyme and cook for 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the mustard and tomato paste and pour in the broth and soy sauce. Bring to a simmer then stir in the turkey and bacon.
Cover the casserole and transfer to the oven for 40-50 minutes or until the potatoes are cooked through.
Dissolve the cornstarch in a tablespoon of cold water and add to the stew, heating it through for two minutes or until the broth starts to thicken.
Stir in the cream and grated Parmesan off the heat and garnish with the chopped parsley. Serve with bread to mop up every delicious drop!

STORING AND FREEZING: This turkey stew will keep for up to four days in the refrigerator. You can also freeze it, without the cream, for up to three months.
VARIATIONS: You can add any vegetables you like in this stew. Root vegetables that require a long cooking time can go in with the potatoes. Green beans, peas and the like need minimal cooking so you can add them right at the end.
