Slow Cooker Turkey

I can’t believe more people don’t know about Slow Cooker Turkey ! (Lol I didn’t even know about it until last week.) This Holiday Slow Cooker cookbook by my friend Leigh Anne is changing my world showing me so much that I can make in the slow cooker (rolls! desserts! a WHOLE turkey!).

I gave this a test last week and we all loved it. My husband raved about the flavor of the turkey. And it was SO.EASY. If you’re in charge of turkey this year and have never made one in the oven, this Slow Cooker Turkey could be a great option for you.
