SLOW COOKER THANKSGIVING TURKEY

Steps:

• Place bacon in a skillet over medium-high heat, and cook until evenly brown. Drain and crumble.

• Cover slow cooker, and cook turkey 8 hours on Low.

SLOW COOKER TURKEY PHO

Steps:

• Fry the ginger and onion in a dry frying pan over a high heat until deeply coloured. Transfer to the slow cooker and heat to low. Fry the whole spices for a few mins until fragrant, then tip into the slow cooker. If pressed for time, simply put in the slow cooker without frying.
• Add the carcass, then pour 3-4 litres boiling water into the cooker so the bones are covered, ensuring you don't overfill it. Cover and cook for 8-10 hrs, depending on how long you can leave it.
• Strain the stock, discarding the bones and spices. Season with the fish sauce and sugar. To freeze for later, leave to cool completely and freeze in an airtight container for up to three months. Keep warm in the slow cooker if serving immediately.
• Cook the noodles following pack instructions, drain and divide between bowls. Top with the turkey and beansprouts or veg, then transfer the stock to a jug and pour over enough to fill the bowls (you will have extra, which you can freeze as above). Scatter over the herbs and chilli, then serve with the lime wedges and sauces.

SLOW-COOKER CHICKEN PHO

Steps:

• Combine broth, brown sugar, fish sauce, star anise, cloves, ginger and cinnamon stick in a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker. Add chicken breasts, meat-side down. Cover and cook on High for 4 hours (or on Low for 8 hours).
• Transfer the chicken to a cutting board. Remove spices and discard. Add noodles and bok choy to the slow cooker. Cover and cook on High for 30 minutes.
• Remove the chicken from the bone and shred with two forks. When the noodles are tender, stir in the shredded chicken. Serve bowls of soup with bean sprouts, basil, mint, cilantro, sliced chile and lime wedges on the side so everyone can add their own toppings.

SLOW-COOKER PHO

Steps:

• Preheat broiler.
• Place onion, garlic, ginger, and serrano chiles on a small baking sheet and broil, rotating until charred, about 8 minutes. Remove from broiler and add cinnamon, star anise, coriander, cloves, peppercorns, fennel, and cardamom. Return to broiler until spices are toasted and aromatic, about 30 seconds to a minute more. Transfer to crock pot, along with beef shanks and chicken stock. Add salt or fish sauce, and enough water to cover shanks by ½-inch, about 8 cups.
• Place lid on crock pot and let cook, at least 8 hours and up to 12 for an even fuller flavor, until meat is falling off the bone.
• Remove beef from crockpot. With a spider or mesh strainer, remove all aromatics from the pot. With a large spoon, skim fat. When beef is cool enough to handle, shred into bite-sized pieces and return to broth. For best results, chill broth and skim fat; reheat before serving. Alternatively, skim fat while soup is warm with a large spoon. Season to taste with salt or fish sauce.
• Divide broth and meat among serving bowls and top with noodles, bean sprouts, lime wedges, herbs, scallions, and chiles. Serve.
