Turkey thighs are budget friendly and cook up moist and flavourful in a slow cooker. They are readily available especially around the fall and winter holidays. Pick up a package or two and freeze for recipes like this one. Just be sure to thaw the thighs in the refrigerator—not on the counter. Chopped, fresh mint adds fantastic flavour just before serving, but feel free to expand on that if there are other herbs you'd like to toss in. Fresh parsley or cilantro would both make delicious additions to this dish.
