Here’s a recipe for the crockpot, developed in our house this past weekend, and enjoyed ever since!! 

2 lb chopped turkey, thawed

2 medium onions, peeled and diced

2 carrots, peeled and sliced thickly

2 stalks celery, sliced thinly

4-6 large tomatoes

3 potatoes, diced

4 garlic cloves, peeled only

2 tablespoons prepared mustard

1 teaspoon chili powder

2 teaspoons turmeric

1 quart vegetable stock

salt and pepper

Starting at the top, add each of these ingredients to a moderately large crockpot.  Fill with stock, and add extra water if necessary to raise the liquid level close to the top.  Set on ‘high’ for 1 hr, and then turn it down to ‘low.’  

Go away all day (or for at least 6-8 hrs)…….….and then come home for dinner.
