Oh, I’m REALLY loving the slow cooker thing. Toss a bunch of stuff in there in the morning, wash up the prep area (yeah, who am I kidding), forget about it and then when you remember you have to cook dinner, it’s like it’s already done! Oh slow cooker, where have you been all my life!?
I had some turkey breast in the fridge (fancy that, suddenly the supermarkets here are carrying turkey breast. I mean, you can get it in the butchers most of the time, but pre-packaged was a rarity!). I also seem to have bought a tremendous amount of apples for a girl who doesn’t normally eat fruit. So I decided to experiment a bit. I have always been a fan of meat and fruit: duck and orange, pork and apple, steak with strawberries, bacon wrapped bananas. All right, I made that last one up… but you know, that gets me thinking……
Anyway. On with the easiest recipe -ever-. And if you ever have complained that turkey is a bit dry – this will change your mind.
Sorta Festive Slow Cooker Turkey
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Lie 5 slices of bacon down on the bottom of your slow cooker. Layer the turkey breast on top of that.
-
Pour in your dried cranberries and apple wedges.
-
Top with the other 5 slices of bacon. Toss a bit of ground pepper on top.
-
Turn on slow cooker to low for about 5 hours.
By the way - the turkey sorta sticks together and shreds apart (Honest, that sentence makes sense.). So you just sorta pull out bits of it onto your plate. Serves.... well, probably quite a lot! -
I served this with quick stir fried green beans with garlic.
