Brendans Crock Pot Turkey Food

TURKEY POT ROAST

Steps:

• Combine 1/4 cup flour, the chopped thyme, paprika, garlic, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl. Rub all over the turkey, then transfer to a 6-quart slow cooker.
• Combine the remaining 1/4 cup flour, the wine, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon parsley and the bay leaves in a medium bowl. Scatter the carrots, celery, onion, potatoes and thyme sprigs over and around the turkey in the slow cooker. Pour in the wine mixture, then cover and cook on low, 7 hours.
• Transfer the turkey to a cutting board. Skim off the fat from the gravy in the slow cooker and discard the bay leaves. Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon parsley and season with salt and pepper. Slice the turkey and serve with the vegetables and gravy.

FULL FLAVOR CROCK POT TURKEY CHILI

Steps:

• Mix and soak beans overnight per package directions.
• Process the fresh tomatoes, garlic, cumin, oregano, paprika, chili powder, cayenne pepper and jalapeno (hot) peppers in the food processor; place in the refrigerator overnight.
• Note: The 2 tablespoons each of hot spices makes a very mild chili- while the 4 tablespoons w/added hot peppers turns up the heat-- for those who like it HOT!
• Take out four or five cups of the soaked beans and place in crock pot (cut it to 3 cups if you did the fast soak- they will still expand while cooking).
• Freeze the rest for later use.
• If you are using canned beans you'll lose some of the flavor-- but it's still good.
• Fry the bacon until crispy and place in crock pot.
• Brown the ground turkey in some of the bacon drippings and place in crock pot.
• Add the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, onions, bell peppers, broth, beer and tomato spice puree.
• Stir to mix and let cook for 10-12 hours on low.
• (You can also cook for 5-6 hours on high, but the beans will not soak up as much of the flavor).
• Serve topped w/the shredded cheddar cheese.
• This recipe is for a large crock pot. You can cut down on the ground turkey, beans and bell peppers a little if you have a smaller crock pot.
