You want your slow cooker to be 1\/2 to 3\/4 full when you place the turkey parts on top of the vegetables.)<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Mrs Dash Garlic &amp; Herb Seasoning<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Mrs Dash Chicken Grilling\u2028 Seasoning<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">1 onion, chopped in large chunks<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">4 celery stalks, cut in thirds<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Optional: 1 can no-salt-added diced tomatoes or 1 can no-salt-added tomato sauce<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERInstructions\">\n<div class=\"ERInstructionsHeader\">Instructions<\/div>\n<div class=\"instructions\">\n<div class=\"ERSeparator\">Slow Cooker Roast Turkey Pieces<\/div>\n<ol>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Remove turkey from packaging. Rinse and pat dry with paper towels. Pull most of the skin of the turkey pieces.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Lightly sprinkle all sides of each turkey piece with both Mrs Dash Garlic Herb seasoning and Mrs Dash Chicken Grilling seasoning.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Put some of the onions and celery inside the slow cooker. Place turkey pieces on top of the vegetables, with the remaining onions and celery inserted between and on top of the turkey pieces.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Optional: Pour the tomatoes or tomato sauce on top of the turkey.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Cover slow cooker and cook on low for 9-10 hours, until turkey is thoroughly cooked.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<div class=\"ERSeparator\">Save the turkey broth for later use in soup or other recipes:<\/div>\n<ol>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Strain the vegetables, bones, meat, skin, etc from the broth and place the strained broth in a covered bowl or pan.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">After it cools a bit, put the broth in the refrigerator for a couple of hours (or overnight) to allow the fat to rise to the surface. (Don&#8217;t stir the broth; just let it settle)<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">After the broth is completely cooled, you can remove the fat by scraping it from the top with a spoon. Discard all of the fat.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Divide the broth into useful portions (I like to save it in 1\/2 cup or 1 cup portions.) Then put it into zip-lock bags and freeze it for later use in soups, gravy, casseroles, or other recipes.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Note: this yields a very robust broth. To use the broth in a recipe, you will want to add approximately 1 part water for each 1 part broth. For example: 1 cup of this broth plus 1 cups water is appropriate for use in a recipe that calls for 2 cups of low-sodium chicken or turkey broth.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERNutrition\">Serving size: <span class=\"servingSize\">4oz.<\/span> Sodium: <span class=\"sodium\">70mg.<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"endeasyrecipe\" style=\"display: none;\">3.5.3226<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Our estimates assume the use of fresh turkey with only 3% sodium per serving (instead of turkey that has been infused with a high-sodium broth).<\/p>\n<p>Note that sodium percentages depend on which daily reference you use.
