I know...cold dark days make me miserable lol. I have so much more energy in summer!
Yes it's just turkey mince. It is really cheap and syn free.
I'm not keen on how the mince goes in the slow cooker though so I won't be using it for mince again.
Generally I am disappointed with my slow cooker!

Do you get breast or thigh mince? The turkey thigh mince is quite fatty I think!
I didn't make them, I didn't have time after getting home from the gym and with having to paint etc... I just made extra wedges for lunch today instead! x

Oh mannn isn't turkey thigh free?! Alllllllll of this time !!!! Damn
All my slow cooker meals go watery, mince goes really small and bitty and sausages are anaemic and I don't want to brown them as that to me defeats the object of shoving everything in and turning it on.
Veg goes too mushy. The other De enter thing I have made is joint of pork and joint of beef :/

It has to be below 5% fat to be free my dear. Turkey thigh mince is fattier so would have some syns but I wouldn't imagine it would be loads. It's annoying as the thigh mince is significantly cheaper too!
With the slow cooker you need to use soooo much less water/stock. I put the cubes/stock pots in without the water normally espec if it's got chopped toms etc in it.
I think it tastes better if browned first... it doesn't defeat the purpose is the flavour is better. Your sausages won't go brown if you don't fry them as that brownness comes from direct heat (i.e. grilling/frying!).
Gotta keep veg chunky too!
I guess it is trial and error/experience really! xx

I just love the convenience, especially with not having a kitchen at the moment. I agree about the mince though, I'm not a big fan of it in the slow cooker. I love a nice meaty one or vegetable one though. Cauliflower doesn't seem to do too well in my slow cooker either. It just turns to mush!

I never use any water at all. Just chopped toms. thanks though girlie's
Bit down now as when I got home on my lunch the garage next to ours was unlocked and open, apparently it's been broken into. We reported a brake in at our place before Christmas. I just feel totally unsafe! It's a nice area really too...scumbags

The police came round...They think the wind snapped the lock and opened the garage door...haha I think not! Ah well
Drove through a blizzard on the way to work so decided to stay here on my break so I don't get snowed in at home!
I'm trying to relax in someone else's house...feels odd!!
I grabbed my gym kit incase the snow clears to go for a run, also managed to grab my chilli out the fridge before just in case so I am prepared! The builders are here though doing the bathrooms upstairs, that's a bit annoying!
Breakfast- ff yog and banana
Mid morning- toast and peanut butter 4 syns
Lunch- turkey chilli
Tea- fish pie with creme fraiche. I will have a small portion with vegetables
