Hi!
I bought a slow cooker, I've been looking for recipes but most of them are quite unhealthy, any ideas you can share for meal prepping? I appreciate it, thank you.

It depends on what you call "healthy." If you need protein, put in some kind of meat. If you need more low calorie vegetables, use broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, etc.0

I switch the soup in most of my slow cooker recipes with stock (chicken stock, beef stock, or veggie stock). Makes the meal healthier........but not creamy.0

Barbacoa - 2 pounds of rump roast and a package of La Frontera Barbacoa sauce. Follow the instructions and you will have the best taco meat. I made mine into 6 servings with 4 corn tortillas each, for less than a 600 calorie dinner. Very filling!0

My go-to for the slow cooker is baked potato soup.
Cut up 2.5 pounds of potatoes, half a yellow onion. Put in the slow cooker with four cups of chicken broth (or four cups of water and some chicken buillion), minced garlic, and seasoned salt. Leave it on low for eight hours or high for four hours. Then add 4 ounces of neufchatel cheese and blend it all with an immersion blender. Serve with bacon, green onions, broccoli, whatever you would put on a baked potato soup.0 -
From MFP I learned to "roast" my chicken in my crock pot. I rest the chicken on a metal trivet and keep the slow cooker on high for about five hours. Easy peasy. The last time I put a few potatoes in there, roasting away in the chicken juices. Very good.
My family loves this turkey chili.0 -

So this is more about turtles than tortoises (despite it being a different animal, your pic reminded me)...
I saw my first snapping turtle this year on the road 2 days ago. That reminds me that I should get some kind of container to keep in my car so I can harvest one if I happen to see one crossing the road again. It's too bad I didn't have a container to put it in because the one I saw was quite large. I'd like to get some turtle meat this year.0 -
