Turkey thighs are easy to find, but you also can use a cut-up chicken, if you prefer. This dish is great served with couscous. Ingredients:
1 cup thinly sliced leek (about 1 large) |
1 cup ruby port or other sweet red wine |
3/4 cup dried cherries |
3/4 cup pitted kalamata olives |
1/3 cup fresh orange juice (about 1 orange) |
1 teaspoon paprika |
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper |
4 fresh thyme sprigs |
1 (3-inch) cinnamon stick |
3 1/2 pounds turkey thighs, skinned |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1 tablespoon ground cumin |
Directions:
1. Combine the first 9 ingredients in an electric slow cooker, stirring to combine. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon salt.
2. Rinse turkey with cold water; pat dry. Sprinkle with remaining 1 teaspoon salt and cumin. Place in slow cooker. Cover with lid, and cook on LOW 6 hours. Discard cinnamon stick.
