Ingredients

  • 4lb pastured-raised turkey wings and backs (reserve the wing tips for bone broth)
  • 1 teaspoon five spice powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon white pepper powder
  • 5 pieces star anise
  • 3 pieces cinnamon sticks
  • 1 knob ginger root

Optional

  • 1 tablespoon gluten free tamari soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce

Directions

Step 1
Mix the dry seasonings in a bowl. Rub generously to the turkey wings and back. Personally I like to let the meat marinate for at least overnight but in a pinch, you can just marinate it prior dumping the whole thing in a slow cooker
Step 2
When you are about to cook the meat, place the marinated turkey in a slow cooker. Put in the star anise, cinnamon sticks and ginger. Add the gluten free tamari soy sauce and the fish sauce.
Step 3
Cover and cook on high for about 4.5 hours.
