Slow Cooker Turkey One-Pot Special

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add turkey thighs and brown on both sides, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Add eggplants, onions, carrots, and bell peppers to the skillet; cook until the vegetables begin to soften, 3 to 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, place sweet potatoes and potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until barely tender, about 6 minutes. Drain.

Put browned turkey, vegetables, and all potatoes into a slow cooker. Dissolve stock in boiling water in a bowl and pour over turkey; add more water to cover, if needed. Add bay leaves and mixed herbs.

Cover slow cooker and cook on medium heat for 4 to 4 1/2 hours.
