Tools I Recommend for this Mexican Corn Bread Stuffing with Jalapeños Recipe
I cooked the bird you see featured here in an oval 6 Quart Crockpot.Cover your slow cooker (never lock) and cook a turkey on low, submerged 1/2 way in chicken stock (season per your taste) for 6-8 hours. I used a 10 -pound turkey, it took about 6 1/2 hours. Key: your turkey has to fit inside the crockpot. Want extra juicy? Turn the bird in the crockpot halfway through the entire cook time. The time will depend on the size of the turkey and your slow cooker. For more info on crockpot cook times, follow the blue link at left. Also, use an Instant Read Thermometerto make sure the meat has reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees. If you want the brown color you see in these photos, I used Kitchen Bouquet Browing Sauce (works like a dream). The meat on this bird was so tender, it fell off the bones.

Mexican Corn Bread Stuffing with Jalapeños RecipeDirections
Step 1: Mix the Chicken Broth. Heat two cups of water in the microwave until steaming hot. Usually, this only takes two minutes (microwave ovens vary). Add two teaspoons of Knorr® Tomato with Chicken Granulated Bouillon and stir the mix until completely dissolved. Set aside. Step 2: Chop the vegetables.Rinse all produce thoroughly and chop everything (bell peppers and onions) into 1/2″ square pieces. Use a pair of tongs to select approximately four to fiveJalapeños from the can ofLa Morena® Sliced Jalapeños and use a pair of kitchen scissors to cut them into 1/4″ – 1/2″ square pieces. Step 3: Cook the vegetables.Melt the butter in a large frying pan. Make sure to select a pan large enough to hold all the ingredients including the crumbled cornbread stuffing. Once the butter is melted, add the poultry seasoning. Stir in the seasoning and then add the bell peppers, onions, and jalapeños. Sauté everything until the vegetables are tender. Stir and mix the vegetables over medium-high heat for somewhere between five and eight minutes. Step 4: Add the chicken broth.Once the vegetables are tender, pour in the chicken broth. Bring everything to a boil stirring slowly. Once completely mixed a bubbling, try off the heat. Step 5: Add the cornbread.Add the crumbled cornbread to the mixture and gently stir and fluff with a fork. You want the moisture and vegetables to be evenly distributed throughout the cornbread stuffing.
