CROCK POT TURKEY VERDE
I do love green chilies. I was happy to find this simple recipe for green (verde) chile turkey. This is not too spicy and makes wonderful wrap sandwiches. I also use it for main dish servings with mashed potatoes.

Steps:
- In a small bowl, mix the salt, garlic powder, smoked paprika and pepper until well combined. Put the onions in the bottom of a 6-quart slow cooker with the garlic cloves.
- Slowly work your fingers under the skin of the turkey breast to separate the skin from the breast, being careful not to tear the skin. Rub the butter under the skin, covering the entire breast as evenly as possible, then rub the outside of the skin with the garlic powder mixture.
- Place the turkey breast on top of the onions and garlic in the slow cooker and set the slow cooker to low. Cook until the meat is falling apart, 6 to 8 hours depending on the size of the breast.
- Remove the turkey and any bones from the slow cooker. Pull the meat off of the bone and place the turkey back into the juices left in the slow cooker. Using 2 forks, shred the meat in the juices and allow to rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
Tips:
- Use a frozen turkey breast: This will save you time and energy, as you won't have to thaw it before cooking.
- Season the turkey breast liberally: This will help to add flavor and moisture to the meat.
- Use a slow cooker liner: This will make cleanup a breeze.
- Add vegetables to the slow cooker: This will help to create a flavorful broth and make your meal more nutritious.
- Cook the turkey breast on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours: The cooking time will depend on the size of the turkey breast.
- Let the turkey breast rest for 15 minutes before carving: This will help to keep the meat moist and juicy.
Conclusion:
Crock-Pot Turkey Verde is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a busy weeknight. The turkey breast is cooked in a flavorful broth made with tomatillos, green chiles, and spices. The result is a tender and juicy turkey that is perfect for tacos, burritos, or enchiladas. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give Crock-Pot Turkey Verde a try. You won't be disappointed!
