Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 5 hours 50 minutes
Makes 4 servings
3 pounds turkey drumsticks, skin removed
1 small onion, diced
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
11/2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh ginger
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 cup chicken broth
1 pound sweet potatoes, peeled and cut in 1" chunks
1/2 cup dried cranberries
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1. In a 6- to 7-quart slow cooker, combine the turkey, onion, honey, vinegar, ginger, salt, pepper, and broth.
2. Cover and cook on low for 5 hours. Add the sweet potatoes and cranberries. Re-cover and cook 45 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and until a thermometer inserted in the drumsticks registers at least 180°F.
3. Remove the drumsticks and pull the meat from the bones, taking care to remove all the sinew. Pour about one-fourth of the liquid from the cooker into a small saucepan. Whisk in the flour until smooth. Slowly whisk in the remaining cooking liquid. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring constantly for 3 minutes or until thickened.
4. Divide the turkey, potatoes, and cranberries among 4 bowls. Spoon the gravy over each bowl.
