Ingredients

– 1 whole turkey (10-12 pounds), thawed
– 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
– 1 medium onion, quartered
– 3-4 cloves garlic, minced
– 2-3 carrots, cut into chunks
– 2-3 celery stalks, cut into chunks
– 2 teaspoons salt
– 1 teaspoon black pepper
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– 1 teaspoon dried thyme
– 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
– 1 tablespoon olive oil or melted butter
– Fresh herbs (for garnish, optional)


Instructions

Creating your Crockpot Turkey is straightforward. Follow these steps to ensure success:

1. Prepare the Turkey: Remove any giblets and rinse the turkey under cool water. Pat dry with paper towels.
2. Season the Turkey: Rub olive oil or melted butter over the skin. Then season with salt, pepper, paprika, thyme, and rosemary, ensuring the seasonings are evenly distributed.
3. Layer the Vegetables: Place the quartered onion, carrots, celery, and minced garlic in the bottom of the crockpot to create a flavorful bed for the turkey.
4. Add the Broth: Pour the chicken broth over the vegetables in the slow cooker.
5. Place the Turkey: Carefully set the seasoned turkey on top of the vegetables in the crockpot.
6. Cook on Low: Cover and cook on low heat for 7 hours. Optionally, check for doneness using a meat thermometer; the internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
7. Rest Time: Once cooked, turn off the crockpot and allow the turkey to rest for 15-20 minutes with the lid on.
8. Carve and Serve: Slice the turkey and serve alongside the cooked vegetables or any of your favorite sides.

This simple process will yield a mouthwatering turkey that everyone will love.
