In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the chopped yellow onion, diced carrots, and diced celery stalks. Sauté for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the vegetables begin to soften.

Add the minced garlic to the pot and cook for 1 minute more, until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.

Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the sautéed vegetables and stir constantly for 1 to 2 minutes, creating a roux. This will help thicken the stew.

Gradually whisk in the turkey broth, ensuring there are no lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.

Add the cooked turkey, rinsed uncooked wild rice blend, dried thyme, dried sage, bay leaf, kosher salt, and black pepper to the pot. Stir to combine.

Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the wild rice is tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and check liquid levels. If the stew becomes too thick, add a splash more broth.

Stir in the frozen peas during the last 5 minutes of cooking. Continue to simmer until the peas are heated through and the stew has reached your desired consistency.

Remove the bay leaf from the stew. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Ladle the hot Turkey and Wild Rice Stew into bowls. Garnish each serving with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
