Slow Cooker Ground Turkey and Hash Browns

A deliciously healthy slow cooker recipe made with ground turkey, hash browns, and cauliflower. It’s sure to be a crowd-pleaser.

Step 1:

It’s been warm in the Midwest the last few weeks although the calendar says were in mid-September. So I feel like it’s too early for slow cooker meals but I’m going with it anyway.

It’s going to cool down soon enough and if you’re like me a bonafide soup lover, the weather doesn’t matter. It could be 80 degrees every day and I’d still eat soup. This recipe is a cross between soup and casserole. I named it a casserole because there is not enough liquid to justify a spoon. You can eat this with a fork.
