2nd Prize Winner-Slow Cooker Recipe Contest AND Versatile Blogger Award

So...The second prize winner of the Slow Cooker Recipe Contest goes to Jodie who submitted the Crockpot Turkey. I loved this recipe simply because of it's versatily. You can throw the turkey in the slow cooker on a Monday and find creative ways to use it all week long. For example: I used it in this Flauta Recipe and in this Turkey Slider Recipe, but the possiblities are endless! Thanks Jodie for a great recipe for busy moms! Below is her recipe.

Here's What You Need:Bone in turkey breast* (I used 1.5lbs of turkey tenderloins)1T olive oil
2-3 cloves chopped garlic (I used 1tsp minced)Salt and pepper
14oz organic chicken broth

Here's What You Do:
Put all the ingredients in the crock pot, cover with 1 can organic chicken broth. Cover, cook on high for 6-8 hours or until the meat pulls away from the bone.Finish the meal by thickening the juice on the stovetop: bring to high simmer in a sauce pan. In a small cup, combine 1/4 c cold water and 1T cornstarch until smooth. Whisk into lightly boiling turkey juices. Season with salt and pepper- you have gravy!

Kid Tip:My gosh the possibilities are endless! Turkey nachos, turkey quesadillas, pasta with turkey, rice with turkey...

Speaking of VERSATILITY...A couple of months back Suzi from Cooking's Good passed on the Versatile Blogger Award to me. I was honored! It's funny after not even really knowing what a blog was, that I now cannot narrow down who I want to pass this on to....there are so many amazing blogs out there!

There are three conditions on receiving this award.  One is to thank the blogger that gave it to you, to share 7 things about yourself, and then to pass this award on to other bloggers, being sure to contact them and let them know!
