Family Crock Pot Recipes' Easy Turkey Recipe

There are many delicious stew and casserole recipes that are family favorites. Comfort foods such as chicken stew and beef and potato casseroles are welcome treats after a busy day at work or school, but how about something just a little different but still comforting? A great alternative to everyday chicken recipes are turkey recipes for the slow cooker. Although turkey can be prepared in several different ways, using your crock pot to fix up a tasty family dinner makes the process even more convenient and comfy.

Rather than mess with the hassle of cutting up a whole turkey, look for a nice turkey breast at your supermarket. For most family sizes and crock pot recipes, a medium size turkey breast works well. If you buy a frozen breast then be sure to allow up to four days to thaw it before putting it in the slow cooker.

When you're ready to cook the turkey, rub it well with butter, put your preferred vegetables such as carrots, potatoes and onions in the pot first before placing the turkey on top. Add enough broth (turkey, vegetable or chicken will work well) to cover 3/4 of the total ingredients, cover the crock pot and cook on low for 8-10 hours or until the turkey is completely done with no pink juices.

Here is an easy and delicious turkey crock pot recipe to try:
