Servings: persons

3 -4 turkey legs or 2 turkey thighs
⅓ cup barbecue sauce
¼ cup salsa
12-¾ cup onion, diced
2 tablespoons onion powder
3 garlic cloves
2 tablespoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons cumin
2 teaspoons dried chipotle powder
12-¾ teaspoon black pepper
0.5 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple, well drained
12-¾ cup couscous (optional)

1
Spray the slow cooker, at least 4 quarts in size, with non-stick spray.
2
Place half of the onions at the bottom of the slow cooker.
3
Place the turkey onto the onion base.
4
Place the rest of the ingredients, except the couscous, into the slow cooker.
5
Cook on low for 7 - 8 hours, or high for 4 - 4.5 hours.
6
Optionally, add the couscous approximately 10 - 12 minutes prior to serving.
7
Mix well and enjoy.
8
Note: I remove the turkey skin, then ball it up, putting it off to the side in the slow cooker.
9
Doing so improves the overall depth of flavor for both the turkey and the sauce, but it still allows us to throw out the extra fat post-cooking, a fair compromise between flavor and fat.
10
Note: I do not add salt as there seems to be enough sodium in the BBQ sauce and salsa.
