Crockpot Turkey

Did you have any idea that you could make a turkey in the crockpot (slow cooker)?? Me neither until I came across this recipe. Just imagine having a delicious turkey dinner ready for you by the time you get home from work...so simple, so delectable. As an added bonus, just make some roux and add the turkey juices to make some mean gravy. With this recipe, you too can have turkey any day of the year, not just on Thanksgiving!

(source: All Recipes)

PREP TIME 10 Min
COOK TIME 8 Hrs
READY IN 8 Hrs 10 Min
SERVINGS 6

INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)
  • 1 (6 pound) bone-in turkey breast
  • 1 (1 ounce) envelope dry onion soup mix

DIRECTIONS

  1. Rinse the turkey breast and pat dry. Cut off any excess skin, but leave the skin covering the breast.
  2. Rub onion soup mix all over outside of the turkey and under the skin.
  3. Place in a slow cooker. Cover, and cook on High for 1 hour, then set to Low, and cook for 7 hours. (NOTE: I have made this recipe using the just the Low setting for 8 hours and it's turned out fine, too. Cooking on High for a bit makes the turkey a little more "carvable" versus "fall off the bone". Either way, it tastes delicious!)
