How to Make Hawaiian Sweet & Sour Sauced Turkey Breast
- Place the turkey breast in the bottom of crock pot. Turn on high and cover with lid as you prepare some of the other ingredients.
- In a medium sized bowl add in the pineapple tidbits, jam, brown sugar, chicken broth, water chestnuts, 2 1/2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes, green onions, dried chives, red bell pepper, black pepper, salt, garlic and lime juice. Whisk until well blend and sugar disappears and no longer appears granulated any more. Pour mixture over the turkey breast in the crock pot. Put lid back on the crock pot. Cook for 1 1/2 hours on high.
- Place the cornstarch in a medium sized bowl, add in the hot water and whisk until well blended and smooth. Add in the butter and whisk until velvety smooth. Dip out 1 to 1 1/2 cups of the crock pot sauce and whisk it into the cornstarch slurry.
- To make the green onion blossoms, clean each green onion by cutting off the stem and most of the green tops, (use them in this recipe. End up with a length of about 4-6 inches total. Place onion on cutting board and slice through the white end lengthwise, turn it over and slice through again. DO NOT cut away, keep the onion in tact/whole. Place the prepared onions in a glass filled with ice water and place in the refrigerator until ready to use. The slice white ends will curl and make and nice little blossom for garnish!
