Smoked Turkey and Sweet Potato Soup

By HeatherS

Smoked turkey is full of flavour and stays tender and moist when cooked in a slow cooker. Simmering it on the bone creates a delicious broth.

Ingredients

• 1 smoked turkey leg (about 18 oz/510 g)
• 1 smoked turkey thigh (about 18 oz/510 g)
• 3 sweet potatoes (2 lb/900 g total), peeled and chopped
