Directions

1 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.
2 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.
3 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.
4 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.

EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Serve food directly from the lined slow cooker. Once your slow cooker cools, remove the liner and throw away for easy clean up.

This recipe would work equally well with pork or beef if desired. Use a budget-friendly cut, such as pork shoulder or beef chuck roast.

I have made this twice now and found it very easy to prepare. Definitely a hit with my family. I have made it exactly as written, but I think next time I might add some shredded carrots for extra veggies and take the advise of another reviewer and add some sauted onion.

Delicious, even hubby loved it and hates poultry. Cooked exactly like the recipe except I used turkey tenderloins and added some canned tomatoes and jalapeños toward the end instead of green beans.

This is a fabulous dish! I was somewhat skeptical that 2 turkey thighs would result in 6 servings, but it did and then some. I added sauteed celery and onion to the crockpot with the beans and used fresh green beans vs. frozen at the end. This recipe is definately a keeper.
