Since I was not home for Thanksgiving I decided to make some turkey for myself. This is a recipe from one of you wonderful bloggers. It is called Crock Pot Turkey. The recipe used a whole turkey breast, however, I was not able to find one at the store. So, I chose to use two thighs and three drum sticks. All dark meat, but that is OK. You simple use some chopped carrots, celery and onion as a little nest for the turkey pieces to sit on. Sprinkle the top of turkey with one package onion soup mix, two tablespoons melted butter and some herbs. I used some crushed dried rosemary. But, there are several different herbs that would work well. And, add a little chicken broth.
I will have enough for some turkey sandwiches and a casserole or two for the freezer. And, if you strain the liquid you can make a nice gravy.
Now, in my opinion, I would not make this again with legs and thighs. I think it is best to use a whole turkey breast especially if you plan to serve the turkey with some side dishes.
The house sure smelled good with the aroma of the turkey cooking!
Tomorrow I may bake some cookies. Right now, that sounds like fun to me. I am thinking Spritz Cookies.
Take Good Care.

Your turkey crockpot recipe sounds divine. I know my crockpot gets a big workout during the fall and winter. Have you ever used the slow cooker liners? Worthy of a Nobel Prize in my opinion. The cleanup is a breeze if you use them in your pot.
