💡 Chef Tips
- Use a heavy-bottomed Dutch oven to maintain consistent, gentle heat.

Slow-Cooker Conversion
If you prefer a hands-off approach, combine all ingredients (raw turkey crumbled) in a 6qt crockpot. Cook on 'Low' for 6-7 hours. The potatoes will hold their shape beautifully at this temperature.
