Can you make this recipe without a slow cooker?

Of course, you can! To make it on the stovetop, start by sauteing the onions, garlic, ginger, and curry in a large soup pot or Dutch oven. Then add the remaining ingredients to the pot, let the soup come to a boil, drop the heat and let it simmer for an hour or two, or until the turkey is super tender. Once cooked, shred the turkey, and mix in the lemon juice. Serve and add the garnish on top.

If you are using an instant pot, you can sauté the onions and peppers first to boost the flavor. Then, add the remaining ingredients, lock the lid into place, and cook on high pressure for 10 minutes. Once cook time is done, let the pressure release and unlock the lid. Shred the turkey breast and serve.
