Crock Pot Curried Turkey

Submitted by Pierre Dance

"This one is so easy to throw together and tastes so good. The only hastle is the Side Boys, SO, Invite your friends over for dinner, give them a drink and put them to work preparing Side Boys. That's why there are bar stools on the other side of the counter. In all truth, communal food preparing goes back to our prehistory, it is a great way to grow closer."

This sure wakes up your taste buds! Decided to make this after finding 2 very large turkey thighs in the freezer dated Nov.2010. I used only 4 teaspoons of curry powder and 1/4t of Penzeys Aleppo pepper. Just right for our taste. I started it on Hi for 1 hour, but at the end of 3 hours on low, the meat still felt too firm. Continued to cook it on Hi for another 2 hours. Perfect. This might also benefit from a bit of yogurt or coconut milk stirred in at the end, but I haven't tried that as yet. This one's a keeper.
