Today, I needed something that would cook quickly in the crockpot and I wanted to use some ground turkey that I had. So this was perfect! These don't really need more than about 4 hours in the crockpot on low. These were very good dipped in barbeque sauce. Will definitely make them again!

Crockpot Recipes
I found this entire book of crockpot recipes that can be scrolled through. I thought it had a great selection of things to try. Can't promise that a lot of them are very healthy, but usually you can substitute certain things to help with fat and calories. Hope you all will find something that appeals to you!

Coconut Curry Chicken
This is such a great crockpot recipe! If you've ever been to a good Indian restaurant, you know how tender the meat is that they serve. The crockpot is the perfect way to get your meat that tender. I got this recipe from "Crockpot Girls" on Facebook. They just started their own website too called crockpotgirls.com, by the way.
Original recipe:
Coconut Curry Chicken
3 chicken breasts - chopped/cleaned
1/2 bag of frozen snow peas
1 can of coconut milk
2 tablespoons of green curry paste
4 tablespoons of brown sugar
1/2 tablespoon of black pepper
1/2 tablespoon of dried/chopped basil leaves
1 teaspoon garlic salt
Combine all ingredients in the crockpot except for the snow peas. Mix well. Cook on low for 6-8 hours. Add snow peas the last 30 minutes and stir. Serve over rice.
Here are my changes:
Omitted basil
Used a different type of curry paste. Couldn't find the green kind, but this brand was very tasty-
"Patak's Original Concentrated Curry Paste". I bought the mild version. I found it at Kroger.
Next time, I will buy the light coconut milk. The regular kind is very good but the lighter kind would have made this dish healthier.
