Description
This slow cooker turkey and potatoes recipe is perfect for a comforting meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs boneless, skinless turkey breast (Can substitute with chicken breast or thigh.)
- 4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced (Cut into larger chunks to avoid mushiness.)
- 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- to taste salt and pepper (Season to preference.)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (For searing the turkey, optional.)
- Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Begin by peeling and dicing the potatoes, chopping the onion, and mincing the garlic. Set these aside.
- For an extra layer of flavor, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the turkey breast for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown (optional).
- In the slow cooker, add the potatoes first, followed by the chopped onions and minced garlic. Place the turkey breast on top, then season generously with salt, pepper, thyme, and rosemary.
- Pour the low-sodium chicken broth over the turkey and potatoes, making sure everything is well-coated.
- Cover the slow cooker and set it to low for 6-7 hours or high for 3-4 hours.
- Once cooked, shred the turkey with two forks and mix gently with the potatoes and broth. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
- This dish can easily be made ahead of time and reheated.
- For added flavor, consider adding other vegetables like carrots or celery to the slow cooker.
