Borsch with turkey in a slow cooker turns out to be quite rich if moderately fatty meat is used. For the broth, you can take a wing or a drumstick. Meat from the thigh of a bird is also suitable. In order for borsch to acquire a bright rich aroma, it is worth adding spices and herbs to the broth in addition to meat, however, it is important not to overdo it with their amount.
