Crock-Pot Maple Mustard Sauced Turkey Thighs

Crock-Pot Maple Mustard Sauced Turkey Thighs by Robyn Savoie

The cool weather has finally arrived. Goodbye fresh corn and tomatoes, and hello stew! This is great in a crock-pot but if you don't have one, this is easily adaptable to the oven. The trick to slow cooking is to brown the meat first, before you put it in the slow cooker. You’ll just get more flavor that way. Turkey is a…
