Not long ago I saw a recipe for a whole turkey breast cooked cacciatore-style in the crockpot. I'm pretty sure I saw it on this forum somewhere, although maybe not in the SBD section, but now I can't find it. Does anyone have a recipe like this?
Schmoodle, I found this in Phase 1 entrees. Looks yummy!

Haven't been here for a while since I'm on the maintenance part of the plan - but thought I'd share some crockpot recipes with the lovely ladies of 3FC. Recently, my grocery store has had turkey breast for sale CHEAP (89 cents a lb!), so I've been doing a bunch of things with them. This one was a winner-
Turkey Breast Cacciatorre
1 4-5 lb turkey breast (or whatever size will fit into your crockpot)
1 large red bell pepper, sliced
1 large green bell pepper, sliced
1 large onion sliced
8 oz sliced mushrooms (or more, if you really like mushrooms)
4-5 large cloves garlic, just smashed (not finely choppped)
2 C of your favorite tomato- based sauce (Classico makes a Spicy red pepper sauce with no added sugar, which is yummy and a staple in my pantry)
1/2 C either SBD friendly chicken broth or dry red wine
1 -2 TB dried italian herb mix or a mix of 1 t each dried oregano, basil and 1/2 each rosemary and parsley, or any combination of dried herbs you prefer.
generous pinch of dried pepper flakes
salt and pepper to taste
I chose to leave the skin on the turkey breast, as that was the only source of fat - however, removing the skin and rubbing the breast with some EVOO would be just as good.
Layer the bottom of the crockpot with the peppers, onions, mushrooms and garlic. Season with salt and pepper and half the herb mix, toss to coat. Wash and dry the turkey breast and season with the remaining herb mix and generously with salt and pepper. Place the turkey over the vegetables in the crockpot and pour the tomato sauce and wine over all. Cook on low for about 9 hours. Remove the breast from the crockpot, remove the skin and bones (be careful, as the bones will almost disintegrate when cooked, so you may find pieces in the liquid). Shred or chunk and add back to the liquid. Serve in a shallow bowl with a generous heap of the vegetables on the bottom, and some grated parmesean on top. Yummy. Phase II can add some whole wheat pasta (but you knew that, huh!).
Thanks Jessie, that's the exact one I was thinking of. I don't know why I couldn't find it - I looked through all the entrees and did a bunch of searches, but it didn't come up. Thanks a bunch for finding it!
Looking for a recipe - help!
