Making Turkey Recipes in a Slow Cooker

Posted on March 21st, 2009 in Recipes by CrockPot

A slow cooker is one of the most versatile kitchen appliances you can own, and with it, you can take out that turkey sitting in the fridge and whip it up in a number of different, interesting and sumptuous ways.

Slow Cooker Chili Turkey

First you prepare the ingredients: get a pound or one and half pounds of turkey cutlets (alternatively you could substitute chicken); you will also need a couple of table spoons of taco seasoning, a cup of salsa, two cloves of garlic, and half a cup of peach or apricot preserves.

Now you cut it into several slices and add some taco seasoning and also some garlic. Next place it into the slow cooker. Deglaze the pan using the salsa and the peach or apricot and sprinkle it over the turkey. Leave it in the slow cooker for 4 to 6 hours.
Slow Cooker Cranberry with Apple Turkey

The ingredients are half a cup of chicken broth, 1 rib chopped celery, 2 teaspoons of butter (melted), a sliced and peeled apple, a teaspoon of poultry seasoning, turkey breast cutlets, a couple of cups of herb spiced crumbs and an 8 ounce can of cranberry sauce.

Mix the chicken broth, celery, poultry seasoning and apple together. Put in about 3 tablespoons of the crumbs, particularly on each cutlet. Roll and arrange the cutlets on toothpicks and place in the slow cooker. Add more of the seasonings, and allow to cook for eight hours (if set to low) or 4 hours (if set to high).

Slow Cooker Turkey with Garlic

You need 1 and ½ pounds of turkey thighs (without skin), salt and pepper, garlic (6 cloves, whole), half a cup of white wine, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, half a cup of chicken broth and a tablespoon of chopped parsley.

First you spice up the turkey with salt and pepper; next put some olive oil in a skillet (medium high). Place in the frying pan, and let it brown (10 minutes). Put it in the slow cooker, and set it to high for 3 to 4 hours. Finally, take away the garlic cloves and serve the dish with the juices and spices of the other ingredients.

These are just samplings of the different types of recipes you can make in a slow cooker. Feel free to experiment, and sooner than later you’ll be coming up with your own unique takes and innovations on turkey meal classics, or even dish out something completely original.
