For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or use a hot enchilada sauce. To make this dish vegetarian, substitute the ground turkey with lentils or crumbled tofu. This stew is great served with a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt and a sprinkle of extra cilantro. Feel free to adjust the amount of water to achieve your desired stew consistency. If you don't have a slow cooker, you can simmer this stew on the stovetop over low heat for about 45-60 minutes, or until the quinoa is cooked.
