Hearty and Delicious Sweet and Sour Chicken and Turkey Crock Pot Stew

Sweet and sour sauces come in many varieties. The sweet part can be from sugar, brown sugar, molasses, corn syrup, sweet fruits like pineapple, peaces or apricots, and more. This recipe uses honey. If you wanted to go completely sugar-free you could probably use Stevia. The sour part most often comes as vinegar or lemon juice but there are plenty of other sour fruits that could be used. I chose lemon juice because it seems to do better in my digestive system than vinegar. Feel free to modify this recipe to your own tastes and preferences.

This one turned out great and made two plus meals for the two of us. I served it over rice, but it could be served as it comes out of the crock-pot.

Ingredients

1 pound ground turkey
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken thigh meat
1/4 cup all purpose flour
1/4 cup olive oil
2 large carrots, cut in 1 inch long pieces
1 large onion, sliced
2 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup honey
1 cup water

Instructions

1 - Mix flour, salt, pepper and paprika together until uniform.
2 - Cut the thigh meat into bite size pieces.
3 - Dredge the ground turkey and the chicken thigh meat in the flour mixture.
4 - Brown the turkey and chicken meat in a skillet (black iron skillet preferred)
5 - Put the carrots and potatoes in the bottom of the crock-pot.
6 - Remove the browned chicken and thigh meat and put into the crock-pot.
Note: Scrape the browned bits off the bottom of the skillet with a spatula.
7 - Combine the lemon juice and water and add to the skillet to deglaze, then add all to the crock-pot.
8 - Add the rest of the ingredients to the crock-pot.
9 - Cook on high for 4 to 5 hours.

Serve over cooked rice.
