Title: Slow cooker Pineapple & Capsicum Turkey
Post by: judydawn on January 18, 2015, 10:06:14 am
Recipe from Super Food Ideas but you will find the recipe  here (http://www.taste.com.au/recipes/34012/slow+cooker+pineapple+and+capsicum+turkey) on Taste.com.au

Their picture is not indicative of the end product as you can see from my photo, theirs seems to have no sauce when in fact there is a nice, rich tomatoey sauce. The reviews are not good either but mine is very tasty.

I used 3 smaller turkey drumsticks and removed the skin before cooking them, used roasted red capsicum I had in the freezer instead of fresh and therefore skipped the step where it is cooked with the onion.  I added it to the sauce just before pouring it over the drumsticks. I also added 2 tsps cornflour slurry to the sauce whilst I was removing the meat from the bones.

Looks great Judy, I have just printed the recipe out. I haven't cooked Turkey drumsticks in a while, they certainly are economical. Will definitely give this a go.

This is delicious.We all enjoyed it.I used 600g of diced turkey thigh meat for this dish but needed to cook it for 8 hours in my SC on low.I did as Judy suggested and thickened the gravy with 2 Tbsp of cornflour.Thanks Judy for a lovely recipe :-*

Glad you enjoyed it Denise. I only needed 2 tsp cornflour, it wasn't too thick with 2 tbsp?

Am I correct in saying 2 English tablespoons =30ml, whereas 2 Australian tablespoons = 40ml?
