Crock Pot Turkey With Sage

Submitted by Mrs. Christmas

"I found this recipe out of a little Betty Crocker Crock Pot cook book years ago. I tried it out on my family and it was a success. The key to the vegetables is to cut them into small enough "bite sized" pieces so they can cook thoroughly."

This was outstanding! I don't know personally how it tasted (I don't eat bone-in turkey), but I smelled it all day and it was amazing. My family ate it and enjoyed it to no end! I will probably use a little more sage next time, but I will definitely be making it again. The turkey gravy ended up too greasy to use as a gravy for the potatoes, but that wasn't a problem since they absorbed so much of the flavor. I also threw an onion in there since nothing in our family is made without onions. LOL! Thanks so much for the wonderful recipe!

This was excellent! I bought a whole turkey (on sale) and deboned it myself by removing the back spine, then split the breast bone right down the middle; I did not debone the legs, thighs or wings. It fit perfectly in my larger crock pot and family had the choice of dark or white meat. Next time I will add more potatoes & carrots. I served it with homemade rolls and roasted brussels sprouts. This was a great holiday dinner! It was voted a "keeper" for future celebration meals.
