Turkey Stew for #SundaySupper

Father Time is relentless. He keeps churning out the seconds at a steady pace. Days quickly pass no matter how much you ask him for a break. You search for a way to get more in each day. Hurry! Hurry! Scurry! Scurry! The speed can become tiresome and soon there is a necessity to slow it down. The slowness of crockpot cooking combines and softens ingredients for enhanced flavor. The same goes for slowing down as it enhances your day by combining relaxing comfort with cherished moments. Relishing a wonderful slower-paced day can be done while enjoying a bowl of slow cooker turkey stew.

A crockpot is a handy appliance to own. The majority of the time all you need to do is put ingredients in it, turn it on, and go. You come back hours later to find a finished dish ready to serve. Do you want fall apart tender beef or pork? Cook it in a crockpot (a.k.a. slow cooker). Soups and stews are a breeze to make in one. I slowly brought in the New Year with a turkey stew using mine. It’s a light stew with a thin broth and packed with vegetables. Carrots, onions, potatoes, rutabagas, and green beans simmer all day with turkey, garlic, and fresh herbs.

I’m not the only one slowly bringing in the New Year. My fellow Sunday Supper contributors are doing the same. We are sharing slow cooker recipes for you to make throughout the year. Our event is being hosted by Cindy of Cindy’s Recipes and Writings. Scroll down to see the lineup and links to each of them.

Do you battle with Father Time? Or accept the passing moments and try to make the best of them? I realized long ago that battling time is a complete waste of effort. Now I focus my efforts on cherishing time with my family and friends, cooking good meals, and enjoying both at the family table. I brought in the New Year with slow cooker turkey stew and made Crockpot Barbeque Pork Sandwiches soon after. What’s next? Stay tuned…
