Sesame Turkey (Crockpot Recipe)

Sesame Turkey (Crockpot)

Serves: 8

So I've slightly obsessed with finding recipes on Pinterest to try out. This is the most recent one I've tried. I made it tonight and it came out SO good!

INGREDIENTS:
2 packages Shady Brook Turkey Cutlets (the original recipe calls for 3 lbs turkey tenderloins)
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
1/4 cup reduced sodium soy sauce (I only had the regular stuff on hand)
1/4 reduced sodium chicken broth
4 tsp freshly grated ginger
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1 Tbsp toasted sesame oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 Tbsp cornstarch
2 Tbsp water
sliced green onions
toasted sesame seeds

DIRECTIONS:

1. Place turkey in slow cooker and season with pepper and cayenne. 
2. In medium bowl combine soy sauce, chicken broth, ginger, garlic, lemon juice and garlic. Pour over turkey in slow cooker. 
3. Cook on low 5-6 hours or high for 2 1/2 - 3 hours (I cooked on low).
4. Remove turkey from crockpot and place on serving platter, covering it to keep warm.
5. Strain liquid into saucepan and heat over medium. 
6. Mix together cornstarch and water until smooth and add to the sauce on the stovetop. Whisk to combine. Continue to cook and stir until the sauce has thickened to desired consistency. 
7. Pour sauce over turkey on serving platter, sprinkle with sliced green onions and sesame seeds to serve.
