Healing Turmeric, Winter Vegetable and Bison Stew Print 9 LikeDislike By hillary bergh I often make a stew like this when my Hashimoto’s symptoms are acting up. The turmeric provides an anti-inflammatory boost while the kombu and sea salt provide much needed iodine and other minerals. Pastured bison is high in Omega-3s, which also help reduce inflammation and may help prevent heart disease. Plus, the bison is lean, packed with protein and very flavorful. The yam and squash contribute fiber and Vitamin A to keep my digestive tract healthy and flowing. I like to use essential oils as they provide a high concentration of flavor as well as health benefits and are easier to keep on hand than fresh herbs.

Lillian Zhao January 23, 2015 at 4:36 pmI’m from Colorado and LOVE bison! In fact, I love all game meat. This was my first time using ground bison before – I’m going to have to use it more! This is a great, hearty, warming soup. I didn’t have pickled beets and used fresh beets and a dash of vinegar, added in at the end – that with the turmeric and squash gave the soup a lovely reddish, purple color. I think I felt simultaneously “healthier” from all the healing herbs and very satiated from the bison and root veggies – this is a great one-pot meal or Sunday meal-prep recipe! Reply ↓

Great sub to use fresh beets with a dash of vinegar to replicate the pickled beet flavor… I’ll be sharing my pickled beet recipe here soon! 🙂 I grew up in Idaho and loved being able to enjoy fresh game meats hunted by friends and family. Thank you! ~chef hillary Reply ↓
