Ingredients

• 2 onions, chopped
• 2 cubes chicken bouillon
• 2 bay leaves
• 2 carrots, chopped
• 2 green bell peppers, chopped
• 1 cup boiling water, or as needed
• 2 eggplants, chopped
• 2 pounds turkey thighs
• 2 pounds sweet potatoes, chopped
• 1 pound potatoes, chopped
• ½ teaspoon dried mixed herbs

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add turkey thighs and brown on both sides, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Add eggplants, onions, carrots, and bell peppers to the skillet; cook until the vegetables begin to soften, 3 to 5 minutes.

Step 2

Meanwhile, place sweet potatoes and potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until barely tender, about 6 minutes. Drain.

Step 3

Put browned turkey, vegetables, and all potatoes into a slow cooker. Dissolve stock in boiling water in a bowl and pour over turkey; add more water to cover, if needed. Add bay leaves and mixed herbs.

Step 4

Cover slow cooker and cook on medium heat for 4 to 4 1/2 hours.
