Morphology
The meaning 'a stew made with turkey' is directly and compositionally derived from the constituents 'turkey' (the bird/meat) and 'stew' (a simmered meat-and-vegetable dish). This type of food-noun combination is a common, cross-linguistic compositional pattern and would be readily understood by a B1 learner who knows both words.
Etymology
Turkey stew comes from the simple idea of cooking turkey slowly with vegetables and liquid to make a stew. People often use 'leftover' turkey from holiday meals, so the name tells you exactly what the dish is.
