When we made our first trip to Hawaii we fell in love. We try to recreate a little Hawaiian life at home with our tiki collection, tropical cocktails, and dishes we’ve tried to recreate on our barbecue. This Hawaiian Turkey Slow Cooker Stew recipe offers a nice mix of sweet and sour that is quick to prepare.
