I did a bone in Turkey for Thanksgiving. I put quartered onions and halved garlic in the bottom along with sage and thyme. I only added about 1 cup of chicken broth. I had to remove the ribs to get it to fit. It turned out great. For Christmas I'm going to do a boneless breast. Crockpot is th way to go!

THIS IS A GREAT IDEA & RECIPE! I don't know that I will ever make a turkey in the oven again. I have a 7 qty crock pot and used an 8 lb de-thawed BONE-IN Turkey Breast. I added the recommended spices, 2 bay leaves, 10 cloves of garlic, 1 cup chopped carrots, 1 cup chopped celery and one chopped medium onion. I added 1 can chicken of chicken broth, not all 3. It made a lot of gravy (after the turkey was cooked I strained out the veggies, removed the fat and added 2 packs dry of turkey gravy mix). Thanks so much for this great recipe!!!
