HOW TO COOK A TURKEY IN A CROCK POT RECIPES

Steps:

• Heat 1 tbs. oil in skillet. Saute onions and garlic until soft, and slightly browned. Put into crock pot.
• Heat remaining oil and brown ground turkey (I use ground dark meat, not as dry as breast meat when cooked). Put meat into crock pot.
• Add remaining ingredients to crock pot and stir together.
• Cover and cook on high for 4-6 hours.
• Serve in large bowls, with cornbread on side.
• Optional toppings at table: Diced red or sweet yellow onion. Shredded cheddar or pepper jack cheese. Sour cream.

Steps:

• Remove turkey from wrapper and set gravy packet in refrigerator for the time being.
• Leave netting on turkey breast and keep the turkey in one piece; rub turkey down on both sides with poultry seasoning and set in crock pot.
• Add 2 cans of chicken broth to the crock pot, set to low, and cook for 8-10 hours.
• At about the 5-6 hour mark, turn the turkey over, and add one more can of broth to the crock pot.
• At the end of the cooking time, remove turkey from the pot and place in a shallow baking pan, remove the netting, rub the top with butter, and set under a broiler in the oven to crisp up a bit.
• Allow the turkey to sit 15 minutes before cutting.
• If you wish, use a portion of the pan juices to pour over some of your dressing/stuffing if you made some to give it extra flavor.
• Use the remaining pan juices mixed with the gravy packet in a saucepan on the stove, heated with some cornstarch or flour to make a gravy for the meat.
