Slow Cooker Turkey and Stuffing

The holidays can be hectic.  Make your holiday dinner a little simpler with this easy Slow Cooker Turkey and Stuffing recipe! It’s my favorite Thanksgiving easy crock pot recipe. 

Hands down, Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday.  I wait all year long for this dinner.  The turkey, the stuffing, the cranberry sauce…I love it all!

My family takes turns with the holidays and Thanksgiving is my holiday.  And, I have to admit that I love it!

I usually start prepping on the Monday before Thanksgiving so that I’m not overwhelmed on Thursday.  I have a check list that I created to help keep me organized and on track.

Getting the turkey ready is the most daunting part.  I’m always worried that I haven’t allotted enough time for it to cook properly.  I try not to over think it, because I’m also afraid that if I cook it for too long, it will dry out.  And, no one likes dry turkey.  I have visions of the scene in National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation where everyone is gnawing on the leather-like turkey.

However, by cooking turkey in the slow cooker, you can ensure you will have juicy, flavorful meat.

I find that an average turkey breast fits beautifully in my slow cooker.  But don’t worry…even though it’s not a full turkey, you can still stuff it!  I’m a stuffing-in-the-bird kinda girl.  I grew up on it and I love it.  I couldn’t imagine it any other way!

Whether you try this recipe for Thanksgiving or just a regular, plain old day, this Slow Cooker Turkey and Stuffing will get gobbled up!  Get it?  Gobbled up?  I crack myself up sometimes.

If you really want to take the flavor over the top, try making this easy Homemade Poultry Seasoning.  It’s so much better than the store bought stuff.
