  1. Step 1:

    Step 1.

    How to put out a turkey thigh in a slow cooker? Prepare all the necessary products. Vegetables can be varied to your taste. I took the most affordable ones that can be found in almost any refrigerator. Rinse the turkey thigh under running water and dry with paper napkins to remove any remaining moisture.

  2. Step 2:

    Step 2.

    Remove the skin from the thigh and cut out the bone. The bone can then be used to make broth. Cut the thigh fillet into medium-sized pieces.

    Step 3.

    Pour vegetable oil into the bowl of the slow cooker. Set the "Frying" mode. Send the pieces of meat to the slow cooker and fry for a while.

    Stir the turkey periodically so that nothing burns. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, until golden brown.

  5. Step 5:

    Step 5.

    Peel the onion, carrot and garlic. Take the amount of garlic to taste. Wash all vegetables in cold water. Cut the bell peppers into two parts and remove the seeds with the core. Tomatoes can be peeled.

    Step 6.

    Cut tomatoes, onions, carrots, garlic and pepper into large pieces. If the pieces are made small, they will turn into porridge during cooking. I used cherry tomatoes instead of the usual tomatoes.

  9. Step 9:

    Step 9.

    Leave until all components are ready. The cooking time will be set automatically, depending on the model of the slow cooker and its power. I had meat and vegetables cooked for 1 hour. After 10-15 minutes from the start of cooking, check if the turkey burns. If necessary, add a small amount of boiling water (0.25-0.5 stack.). If you use juicy tomatoes, then usually you do not need to top up the water.

    Step 10.

    Sprinkle the finished meat with finely chopped herbs, pepper if desired and serve. Delicious as an independent dish.

    Perfectly combined with boiled pasta and cereals.

Bon appetit!

Wash the meat, be sure to dry it with a paper towel, otherwise excessive moisture will not let it fry - it will stew.

How easy is it to peel tomatoes? Wash them, make criss-cross incisions on top with a sharp knife. Put it in boiling water for 1-2 minutes. Remove, cool slightly and remove the skin.
