Number Of Ingredients 12

Reynolds™ Slow Cooker Liners
6 cups water
1 bag (16 oz) dried navy beans (2 cups), sorted, rinsed
3 cups Progresso™ chicken broth (from 32-oz carton)
1/4 cup olive oil
3/4 cup chopped parsley
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
2 tablespoons chopped garlic (from a jar)
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 package (1 1/2 to 2 1/4 lb) turkey thighs, skin removed
1 1/2 cups frozen cut green beans, thawed

Steps:

  • Place Reynolds™ Slow Cooker Liners inside a 5- to 6 1/2 -qt slow cooker bowl. Make sure that liner fits snugly against the bottom and sides of bowl and pull the top of the liner over rim of bowl.
  • In 3-quart saucepan, heat water to boiling over medium-high heat. Add navy beans. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer uncovered 10 minutes. Drain; rinse with cold water. Place beans in slow cooker; add broth.
  • Meanwhile, in medium bowl, stir together olive oil, 1/2 cup of the parsley, the Italian seasoning, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and the pepper. Press mixture firmly onto turkey thighs. Place turkey on top of beans in slow cooker. Cover; cook on Low heat setting 7 to 9 hours or until beans are tender and turkey pulls apart easily with fork.
  • Remove turkey from slow cooker. Increase heat setting to High. Stir green beans and remaining 1 teaspoon salt into slow cooker. Cover; cook 15 to 20 minutes or until vegetables are hot. Meanwhile, remove turkey from bones. To serve, place bean mixture in shallow bowls; top with turkey, and sprinkle with remaining parsley.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover turkey. I made it the day after Thanksgiving, and it was a hit with my family. The turkey was moist and flavorful, and the beans were perfectly cooked.

I was a little hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of turkey, but I'm glad I did. The turkey was surprisingly tender and flavorful, and the beans were creamy and delicious. I will definitely be making this dish again.

This dish was easy to make and very flavorful. I used boneless, skinless turkey breast, and it cooked perfectly in the slow cooker. The beans were also cooked perfectly, and the sun-dried tomatoes and artichoke hearts added a nice touch.
