How to Make African Style Turkey On Couscous Crock Pot

  1. Brown the turkey in a large skillet over medium-high heat for about 5-7 minutes per side. Set aside.
  2. In the crock pot, sauté the onion and garlic in 1 tablespoon of olive oil for 2-3 minutes until softened.
  3. Add the diced tomatoes, curry powder, cumin, paprika, ginger, and salt & pepper to the crock pot. Stir to combine.
  4. Place the browned turkey pieces into the crock pot. Pour in the chicken broth.
  5. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours, or on high for 4 hours, until the turkey is cooked through and easily shreds.
  6. While the turkey cooks, prepare the couscous according to package directions.
  7. Once the turkey is cooked, shred it with two forks. Stir the shredded turkey back into the sauce.
  8. Serve the flavorful turkey mixture over a bed of fluffy couscous. Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley (optional).
