Receta Crock-Pot Maple Mustard Sauced Turkey Thighs
The cool weather has finally arrived. Goodbye fresh corn and tomatoes, and hello stew! This is great in a crock-pot but if you don't have one, this is easily adaptable to the oven.
The trick to slow cooking is to brown the meat first, before you put it in the slow cooker. You’ll just get more flavor that way.
Turkey is a wonderful protein, inexpensive and available, but can also be quite strongly flavored, especially the dark meat. I love the way that a mustard sauce holds its own with the turkey, mellowing the turkey flavor while at the same time enhancing the overall flavor of the stew. My parents each gave this one a two thumbs up. Hope you like it too!
