Ingredients :

• Spiral-sliced smoked turkey ham — This is the heart of the dish. Look for it in supermarkets in the deli or fine meats section, often vacuum-sealed. The spiral cut is important: it allows the glaze to seep between each slice during cooking, and every piece will be well-coated. A whole smoked turkey breast roast also works — in that case, cut it into thick slices yourself before putting it in the slow cooker.
• Packed brown sugar + molasses — Brown sugar alone would yield something flat and too sweet. Molasses brings bitterness and depth — it’s what gives it that appetizing mahogany brown color. One to two tablespoons are enough; beyond that, it becomes overpowering. Choose well-packed brown sugar, not fine raw sugar which dissolves too quickly.
• Fresh oranges — undefined
• Orange marmalade — It provides sugar, body, and that subtle bitterness from candied peel that you can’t find anywhere else. Store-bought marmalade works perfectly fine — choose one with thin peels for a smoother texture on the meat. Avoid low-sugar versions: they don’t caramelize as well.
