Instructions

In the bowl of your slow cooker add all of the ingredients except for the cream. Stir to combine. Cook for 4-5 hours on high or 6-8 hours on low, until the vegetables are cooked through and tender. Add the cream just before serving and stir to combine. Adjust the seasonings to taste. Serve hot.

Notes

You have a few options when it comes to the meat. Using leftover cooked turkey is a convenient way to use up some leftovers, but if you don't have it on hand it's no big deal. You could also use 1 to 1 1/2 pounds raw chopped chicken instead of cooked turkey and let it cook in the slow cooker.
