    Turkey drumstick is lovely done in the slow cooker - bung in the drumstick with chopped onions, potatoes/other veggies of choice, pint or so of stock, herbs and seasoning. Leave it on all day, the meat will be falling off the bone by evening - then just strip the meat into the stew and take out the skin and bones. You can thicken it at the end of cooking with a traditional plain flour and fat gravy base or use granules/paste (cook for another 20 mins to blend flavours). I don't like this thickened with cornflour but that's just my taste.

    I've also made lovely turkey casserole with turkey steaks and even turkey mince, as above.
    I believe in the freedom of spinach and the right to arm bears.

    I would do the same as above, turkey pieces/steaks/drumsticks or mince in sc with carrots onions, chicken stock and any other veg u fancy, let the slow cooker do the magic and then if u would like to you can thicken it up at the end :)

    Sounds yummy thanks. I have some turkey thigh diced will this work ?

    Never used a slow cooker before just bought a small value one from Argos and thought I would give it a try. Failing that its back to the old cookpot on the gas hob!

    Thanks :)

    Yes diced thigh is perfect, it has a little more fat than breast and has a lovely meaty taste. Should make a fabulous stew!

    What kind of Herbs and stock do I put in please? Alternatively which is the best 'packet mix' to add which may be cheaper for this 1 off meal?

    Thanks.

    I forgot to make stock from the turkey today, is it too late tomorrow?

    I tend to go by fourth day very latest.
