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!!!

This was too good for words!! I added carrots and onions to the crockpot as well. The turkey was moist and very flavorful. Great way to have turkey without heating up the house. We will have this again soon! Thanks so much.

Absolutely incredible. So easy to make and delicious. I will never cook a whole turkey.

EASY!! WONDERFUL! I was afraid that my turkey would be dry and with no flavor (I ususally brine marinate first - but didn't this time)! Wow...this worked out well and didn't heat up the house - and I still got that really great smell - taste and really moist turkey!
