Tunisian Slow-Cooked Turkey Breast

Recipe View In a large resealable plastic bag, combine flour, chipotle chili powder, garlic powder, cinnamon, coriander, salt, and black pepper. Seal the bag and shake vigorously to ensure the spices are well mixed. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

Recipe View Place the turkey breast into the bag, seal, and shake to thoroughly coat the turkey with the spice mixture. Ensure every surface is covered for maximum flavor. (Prep time: 2 minutes)

Recipe View Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, carefully place the seasoned turkey breast in the skillet and sear until browned on all sides, approximately 5 minutes per side. The internal temperature will still be pink at this stage. (Cook time: 10 minutes)

Recipe View Arrange acorn squash quarters, carrots, red onions, and garlic cloves in the bottom of a large slow cooker, creating a bed for the turkey. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

Recipe View Place the seared turkey breast on top of the vegetables in the slow cooker. Cover the cooker tightly. (Prep time: 2 minutes)

Recipe View Cook on High for 3 1/2 to 4 hours or on Low for 7 to 8 hours, or until the turkey breast is very tender and the vegetables are easily pierced with a fork. The cooking time may vary depending on your slow cooker. (Cook time: 3.5 - 8 hours)

Recipe View Carefully transfer the cooked turkey breast to a platter and let it rest for about 10 minutes before slicing against the grain. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful turkey. (Rest time: 10 minutes)

Recipe View Peel the cooked squash and garlic cloves. Arrange the cooked vegetables artfully around the sliced turkey. Spoon the flavorful juices from the slow cooker generously over the turkey and vegetables. Serve immediately and enjoy!
