Slow Cooked Turkey

Just incase you didn’t have enough turkey at Christmas, here I am with a super easy and incredibly delicious slow cooker recipe! I had this 1kg slab of turkey breast and I wasn’t really sure what to do with it, I didn’t want it to go dry in the oven!

Eureka!! The slow cooker, the amazing kitchen tool that I always forget about! I’ve been using it a lot more this month, they are wonderful for low budget meals (perfect for January)!

This particular recipe is really simple, but you can add extra veg in or mess around with the spice blend for different flavours! I have also added in a brunch/lunch type recipe using the  turkey.

Ingredients:

• 1kg pure turkey breast
• 1 bottle tomato passata
• 1 pot Knorr chicken Stock Pot (28g Pot-no water)
• 2 gloves garlic crushed
• 1 tbsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp mixed herbs
• 1 tsp chipotle powder or chilli powder
• 1 tsp turmeric
• salt/pepper

Method:

1. Place the turkey in the slow cooker.
2. Pour the passata in and add add the spices and chicken stock (remember no water)
3. Stir it all up or you can use your hands to mix in the spices.
4. Turn the slow cooker on low.
5. Cook for 8-10 hours. (I cooked mine from 9pm until 7am.)
