How To Make crock pot turkey
-
Step 1Wash and Dry Turkey (or turkey Breast) - leave the skin on. Set aside. Coat crockpot with olive oil.
-
Step 2Slice one onion in to fourths. Place onion on bottom of crockpot to make a shelf for turkey to sit on. For garlic lovers, add a few extra garlic cloves on the bottom in this step. Slice the other onion in to four wedges. Slice orange in to four wedges.
-
Step 3In a bowl, thoroughly mix all dry seasonings together.
-
Step 4Rub entire turkey (or turkey breast - both inside and out) with olive oil. Gently pull skin away from breast. Season entire turkey including under the skin. Add 2 pats of butter under the skin.
-
Step 5Insert onions, oranges and garlic cloves into chest cavity.
-
Step 6Place turkey in crockpot breast side up resting on the sliced onions.
-
Step 7Add chicken broth and chardonnay, trying not to wash off seasons.
-
Step 8This step is as per my crockpot. I have noticed that not all crockpots are alike. Adjust to your cooking crockpot time. Mine: 90minutes on high and 5 hours on low.
-
Step 9Gently shred turkey in crockpot and keep warm.
-
Step 10Very moist and juicy! Enjoy!
