THANKSGIVING TURKEY IN A CROCK POT, WITH SAGE AND BACON



Thanksgiving Turkey in a Crock Pot, With Sage and Bacon image

I hate touching raw turkey! I hate cleaning it, and brining it, and basting it, and, oh, everything else you have to do to make a proper Thanksgiving turkey. But, man oh man, do I love Thanksgiving turkey anyway! That's why I was so pleased to discover this Betty Crocker recipe. It really works--no rinsing, brining, or basting necessary. And the result is moist and delicious. You get all the taste (and the credit) with almost no work. One note: the Betty Crocker recipe has you cook for 7-8 hours, but depending on your crock pot, this might not be enough. If you're worried about this, cook longer if necessary, or put the crock pot up to high for the first couple hours.
