We loved this recipe! My Kroger just started carrying all cuts of Turkey and I was so excited to find this recipe, it is a go to when I have a class at night and the rest of the family needs to have dinner. It is really flavorful and a nice alternative to pot roast. Thank you for posting.

I was surprised that my boyfriend chose to make this on his day off. If he can cook it, then any begginer cook can pull this off and it is sure to impress. This dish was so comforting. I came home to my house filled with the aroma of spices. I was worried about the vegetables being over cooked, but they were cooked perfectly. The turkey was the most juicy poultry I have ever tasted. It was fall off the bone and had a warm southern taste.

No luck getting turkey legs at the grocery, so used a boneless turkey breast--worked very well. This turned out better than I expected. The breast meat was very juicy and the seasonings permeated the meat. The veggies, also were tender and well flavored. Left the peel on the potatoes. Very happy to have a slow cooker recipe for turkey and hopefully will get to try this with the legs. Thanks so much for the post.
