As life becomes busier and the dark evenings draw in, it may well get to the point where you are unable to cook yourself a hearty meal at the end of the day. However this is where our trusty friend the ‘slow cooker’ can step into play. The slow cooker makes wonderful meals that simply cook whilst you are at work.
This recipe is very simple but the combination of flavours makes it truly delicious as they infuse into each other making it a taste sensation. The best thing is this meal cooks itself and only requires a little help at the beginning.

- 500g minced turkey
- 1 tablespoon organic oil
- 1 large onion (chopped)
