how long to cook a whole turkey in a crock pot
Instructions. 1  Barely cover the bottom of your slow cooker with water. 2  Place the turkey in the crock-pot. 3  Season as desired. 4  Cover and cook on low for 8-12 hours depending on the size of the bird. 5  You could start this the night before and free up oven space, and you'll be ready for an early afternoon feast if desired.o now at Thanksgiving I slow cook a turkey AND bake a turkey, JUST in case they didnât turn out, plus I LOVE the leftovers. Now you might have to get a smaller bird. Actually, you can ask the butcher to cut your bird for free (maybe Iâll do that this year). I have a 7 quart crock-pot that I used for this one.
