Turkey Pot Roast
4 turkey drumsticks
olive oil
1 package Lipton's Onion Soup Mix
whole peppercorns
mixed vegetables, chopped into bite-size pieces (potatoes, onions, carrots, celery)
Take 4 turkey drumsticks and chop off the ends of the bones with a heavy cleaver right where the meat begins. Discard the bone ends. You need to do this is to allow them to fit into your average slow cooker. If you have a jumbo-size slow cooker, you might not have to do this. In fact, it would be better if you didn't. Bringing in a platter of whole drumsticks makes for a more dramatic table presentation. Arrange the drumsticks in alternating directions in the cooker. Drizzle with 3 to 4 tablespoons of olive oil. Sprinkle a package of Lipton onion soup mix over the top of the drumsticks, and throw in a small handful of whole peppercorns. Cover and cook on high for 2 to 3 hours. The cooking time will depend on your slow cooker and the size of the drumsticks. You can check them for doneness by pulling back the meat on one of them with a fork. When the meat falls right off and it's nice and brown all the way to the bone, it's done.
During the last hour, throw the vegetables on top of the meat, cover again, and cook until tender to your liking. When done, arrange the drumsticks on a large platter, and spoon the vegetables and sauce around and over them. Enjoy!
