Notes
Turkey: I use lean ground turkey for this recipe (I get the 93% lean kind). However, it also works great with ground beef, chopped cooked chicken or even leftover Thanksgiving turkey.
Beans: I use kidney beans because that's just how we've always made it. However, black beans or even pinto beans or chili beans would also work.
Corn: You can use a can of corn or use frozen corn. (No need to even thaw it first.)
Tomatoes: Feel free to substitute regular diced tomatoes - or even fire-roasted diced tomatoes - for the Italian style.
Broth: This stew is pretty thick and is meant to be that way. However, if you'd like to thin it out a bit, feel free to add some chicken broth or water.
Leftovers: Leftover hobo stew, once cooled, can be stored in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days. Reheat over medium low heat in a pot on the stove or in single servings in the microwave until warmed through. Add a splash of broth, if needed, to loosen up the stew.
Freeze: Extras also freeze great! Once cooled, place in a freezer-safe ziptop bag or container, label and date it, and freeze for up to 5 months. Defrost overnight in the refrigerator and then reheat.
