Doing my grocery shopping I ran across a "manager's special" markdown. If you haven't checked these out they are items that fastly approaching the sell-by date. I like to pick up meats that are marked down and pop them in the freezer or cook them in the next few days. So I took my $5 turkey tenderloins and made an easy slow cooker meal. After a day of errands and playing the meal was ready to go. And it makes your house smell delicious!
Ingredients
- Turkey Tenderloins
- Carrots
- Celery
- Red Potatoes
- White Onions
- Garlic
- Chicken Stock
- Sea Salt
- Pepper
Recipe
- Chop Carrots, Celery, Red Potatoes into bite size pieces. You'll want around 1 - 2 cups of each. The amount doesn't have to be exact. Add to slow cooker.
- Dice the onion and mince the garlic. Add to slow cooker.
- Add some chicken stock. If you just want to steam the veggies add around 1/2 a cup. If you want a soupy broth to dip bread in add more.
- Place the Turkey Tenderloins on top of the veggies in the slow cooker. Season meat and veggies with sea salt and pepper to taste.
- Cook on high for one hour. Cook 5-7 hours on low. The total time depends on the thickness of your tenderloins. I tend to buy thicker pieces and they generally are done after 6 hours on low.
What is the weight of the Turkey Tenderloin ?
ReplyDeleteAbout 16 ounces each
DeleteDo I cook on high for 1 hour then low for 5 hours. holy cow.
ReplyDeleteDepends on your slow cooker. I usually just cook on low the whole time. If the tenderloins are thinner could be done in 4 hrs but generally 5-7 hrs for me. If you are out during the day it's a good meal to be done when you arrive home
