Leftover turkey (or chicken) along with peppers, potatoes, and a simple homemade Cajun seasoning are all you need for this healthy one-pot slow cooker recipe.
Turkey is one of my favorite proteins. I always ask myself why I don’t eat turkey more often and I can’t think of an answer. I love turkey! This recipe uses leftover, pre-cooked turkey breast. If you don’t have or like turkey, use chicken breast. My turkey was pre-seasoned with Cajun seasonings but if yours is not, that’s okay. You can use a regular turkey breast and add the Cajun seasoning. The rule of thumb that I follow is 1 tbsp of Cajun seasoning per pound of meat. Having said that, I’m still leaving the instructions as a range of 1-2 tablespoons. I know it’s a wide range but everyone’s taste buds are different. Below is my homemade Cajun seasoning. I keep a batch of this in my pantry at all time. I’m not going to preach but homemade seasonings are always healthier and usually cheaper than store-bought:
This is pre-seasoned Cajun turkey that what I used:

When chopping the veggies and potatoes, try to chop them in even pieces so they cook consistently. Don’t worry about the turkey overcooking. If anything it will be so tender it will fall apart. You can use any type of potato or sweet potato. I used white sweet potatoes.
Add 3 more cups of broth and turn this into a soup!

Spicy potato with low fat turkey that have sweet-hot flavor, using yams to give it a surprising twist.
I love a good crock pot meal. This recipes looks really good. I haven’t tried a turkey stew yet, but I should!
Oh my goodness this looks delicious! We love our slow cooker but we haven’t tried anything with turkey before
With summer coming I use my slow cooker even more. This looks like a really tasty recipe. I love that you can use sweet potatoes in it too they are a favorite in my house.
This looks so amazing. Between the broth that is created with the cajun spices and the turkey and veggies, I am getting hungry just looking at it.
I’m always on the market for new crock pot recipes. This looks SO good. Loving the spices on the turkey.
You had me at turkey and potstoes. I love slow cook recipes, they are very easy to make.
I am so seeking options for slow cooker meals this summer. I think the cajun turkey will be a hit, love that it has potatoes in it too!
I love the Jennie O Cajun style chicken because it is different and taste delicious. This recipe I am going to have to try for sure. Thanks for sharing this awesome recipe.
Oh this is perfect for our dinner! Looks so yummy! Going to try this tomorrow.
Oh this looks SOOOO good!! I’ve never made anything like this really. I really want to make this next week!!
Crockpot meals are great because you don’t have to worry about them. Plus they don’t heat up your house like the stove or oven.
This recipe looks delicious! Love the pics of those vibrantly colored veggies. I would prob forego the potatoes – not much of a potato stew type – and serve as a jambalaya of sorts over some rice. Thanks for sharing.
It’s great that there’s a Cajun style turkey breasts that are now readily available. Thanks for the recipe.
I am always looking for new recipes because I am not that into cooking so I lack of inspiration :). I must try this one too and I will let you know of the results 🙂
This looks really delicious and has a lot of flavors that my family likes. I am going to add this to my must try list.
I’m completely obsessed with my new slow cooker! Never really thought of using the pre-seasoned pork that you find in the stores but it’s brilliant! Thank you 😉
I fancy this dish now. Anything with turkey and potatoes and I am there. Wetting my lips at this 🙂
