Tunisian Yam and Red Bean Stew (Slow Cooker Version) image

A former roommate of mine gave me the basic recipe for this spicy aromatic stew. It's great comfort food in cold weather, and fantastic fiery food for hot weather--it all depends on what you serve with it! I love it over steamed couscous or pieces of spongy bread, myself. Don't be put off by the long ingredient list...you are in for 10-15 minutes of chopping and that's it! Assemble this in your crock the night before and you'll have dinner done before you know it the next day!

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon chipotle chili powder
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground coriander
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 (4 pound) skinless, boneless turkey breast half
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 acorn squash, seeded and cut into quarters

6 unpeeled garlic cloves

Steps:

Mix flour, chipotle chili powder, garlic powder, cinnamon, coriander, salt, and black pepper in a large resealable plastic bag and shake to combine. Place the turkey breast into the bag, seal, and shake to coat turkey with the spice mix.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and sear the seasoned turkey breast in the hot oil until browned on both sides, about 5 minutes per side (meat will still be pink inside).

Cook turkey breast until meat and vegetables are very tender, 3 1/2 to 4 hours on High or 7 to 8 hours on Low. Transfer turkey breast to a platter and allow to rest for about 10 minutes before slicing.
Peel squash and garlic cloves. Arrange the cooked vegetables around the turkey meat and spoon the juices from the slow cooker over the turkey and vegetables to serve.
