The Easiest Turkey EVER
Ingredients:
Turkey - enough for the entire family (we buy packages of legs and breasts, but you have to put the legs in a few hours before the breasts)
Vegetable oil
A few shakes of salt, pepper and garlic salt
2 cans turkey gravy
Rub or spray oil into your crockpot. When you cook in these all day long, cleaning them can be a nightmare.
Early in the morning, put the turkey pieces with bones in the crockpot. Shake some salt, papper and garlic salt on top. Spray or rub oil over the meat, add one can of the turkey gravy, stir, cover, and cook on low for 8-12 hours, depending on your cooker’s temperature. They all vary greatly. To be safe, peek at the meat after only 6 hours to see if it’s done yet. (Can’t tell you how many times I burned poultry in one of my crockpots because it cooked so high when set to low!)
About 3-5 hours before dinnertime, add the boneless meat to the crockpot (no need to rub it with oil). Again, you’ll need to estimate the time, depending on how fast and hot your cooker cooks meat. Push the boneless meat down so it’s completely covered with the gravy mixture.
Serve directly from the crockpot and offer the other can of gravy in a side dish, heated in the microwave.
On the road, we always eat this with stuffing (from a box), greenbeans (from a can), cranberry sauce (also from a can), and biscuits (frozen or from a refrigerated can). This is a super-fast, mini-Thanksgiving dinner that we eat all year ’round.
