This well-seasoned, slow-cooked soup is a meal in a bowl. Serve with crusty whole-wheat bread for dunking. Scotch bonnet, one of the hottest chiles available, is often used in jerk dishes. If you're up to the flavor challenge, try adding one to this dish but you may want to substitute plain, diced tomatoes for the ones with chilies to tame some of the heat. Lean turkey breast benefits from time in the moist heat of the slow cooker, submerged in a spiced liquid that infuses the meat with flavor. Adding minced cilantro and a squeeze of lime at the end provides a bright, fresh finish.
