CROCK POT TURKEY BREAST



Crock Pot Turkey Breast image

This is a great recipe that I use when I need a lot of moist flavorful cooked chicken/turkey. It's great for salads, enchiladas etc. The breast is even moist enough to slice up and serve for dinner or put on sandwiches.

TURKEY DRUMSTICKS IN THE CROCK POT



Turkey Drumsticks in the Crock Pot image

The grocery here often has fresh turkey legs and they're very inexpensive. I make this recipe using 4 or 6, however many happen to be in the package. I then take the meat off the bone and use it in recipes that call for cooked chicken or turkey.

CROCK POT CRANBERRY TURKEY TENDERLOIN



Crock Pot Cranberry Turkey Tenderloin image

The store had a deal on those pre-packaged flavored turkey tenderloins, so I picked up a package to experiment with. This was put together with ingredients I had on hand. The tenderloins I got were the Jennie-O Roast Turkey flavor ones, but I think it would work well with plain tenderloins or a turkey breast as well. Also probably good with pork roasts and chicken parts. I didn't salt the turkey because it was pre-flavored, but plain turkey could probably use some salt. I'm guessing on the amount of cranberry sauce, as I used about 3/4 of a can of whole berry sauce. It's a yummy fall dish, though, and would be nice for Thanksgiving, too!

garlic powder
2 raw garlic cloves

CROCK POT CHICKEN OR TURKEY STOCK



Crock Pot Chicken or Turkey Stock image

I now have my crock-pot 6 months. Because I don't need it as a time saver I have not used as much as I thought I would. But, it is great to make good chicken stock and I use it for that purpose a lot. I let the crock-pot do this during the night. My crock-pot is 3 liter/quart so a small one, adjust the ingredients to the size pot you are using and use your own judgement. I find it handy to freeze some of the stock in ice-cube bags for sauces. If you do not have all the ingredients on the list...it does not matter, you also do not have to follow the amounts exactly, be creative and add other veg or more of the same, or what you have in the fridge and think is suitable for making this recipe, just let it cook slowly to get a great rich stock. Have fun with this and enjoy the result!

Categories     Stocks

Time 16h10m

Yield 6-7 cups

10 black peppercorns, approx
1 garlic clove (to taste)
1 bay leaves or 1 bouquet garni

boiling water

Steps:

  • Preheat the crock-pot on high.
  • Try breaking up the bones as small as possible, place with all the other ingredients in the crock-pot.
  • Cover with as much boiling water your crock-pot can take, I can add approx 6 cups of water.
  • Switch to LOW and cook for 12 or up to 24 hours.
  • Strain, cool, skim of the fat, use the stock or freeze.
  • If there is any meat on the bones, remove it and use for the soup or other dishes, it will be also good for a ragout.
  • Enjoy!

CROCK POT TURKEY WITH MUSHROOM WILD RICE



Crock Pot Turkey With Mushroom Wild Rice image

This is one of our favorite ways to use leftover turkey, or chicken for that matter. It reheats well and the leftovers are also good wrapped up in a warm whole wheat tortilla. However, my favorite way to eat the leftovers is cold over a bed of baby spring greens and topped with walnuts, sliced apple, and purchased low-free raspberry vinaigrette dressing! (I think I actually look forward to the leftovers a little too much!) Sometimes I also throw a cup or so of cooked kidney beans in here.

EZ COOK CROCK-POT TURKEY CHILI - NO BEANS



Ez Cook Crock-Pot Turkey Chili - No Beans image

Low cal spicy turkey chili that's fast and EZ Cook. I was tasked with coming up with low calorie meals for my DW and I. This is my own concoction.

Provided by Marine Corp Cook

Categories     Turkey Breasts

Time 6h20m

Yield 6 cups, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb lean ground turkey
4 garlic cloves, fresh minced
1 sweet onion, fresh chopped
1 green pepper, fresh chopped
2 tablespoons chili powder
28 ounces diced tomatoes, can
15 ounces tomato sauce
10 ounces Rotel tomatoes & chilies
6 ounces light beer (half can)
6 ounces tomato paste
1/4 cup jalapeno, chopped

Steps:

  • Combine turkey and garlic in frying pan and brown, drain grease well, and scrape into crock-pot.
  • Combine onion and green pepper in frying pan and saute until onion is just translucent and scrape into crock pot.
  • Add all other ingredients and stir until combined.
  • Cover and cook on low 6 hours (preferred) or high 3 hours.

Tips:

  • Choosing the right turkey: Select a turkey that is no larger than 12 pounds to ensure it cooks properly in the crock pot.
  • Preparing the turkey: Remove the giblets from the turkey cavity and rinse the turkey inside and out. Pat the turkey dry with paper towels.
  • Seasoning the turkey: Generously season the turkey with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings. You can also add a compound butter or herb paste under the skin for extra flavor.
  • Cooking the turkey: Place the turkey breast-side up in the crock pot. Add 1 cup of broth or water to the bottom of the pot. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  • Basting the turkey: Every hour or so, baste the turkey with the juices that collect in the bottom of the crock pot. This will help keep the turkey moist and flavorful.
  • Letting the turkey rest: Once the turkey is cooked, remove it from the crock pot and let it rest for 15-20 minutes before carving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the turkey.

Conclusion:

Cooking a turkey in a crock pot is a simple and convenient way to prepare a delicious and moist Thanksgiving meal. By following these tips, you can ensure that your turkey turns out perfectly every time. So, gather your ingredients, set your crock pot, and get ready to enjoy a stress-free Thanksgiving dinner with your loved ones.
