Recipe Tips
- If you need this meal faster, then you can turn the slow cooker to high and cook it for 3 hours instead.
- As I mentioned earlier, you can tweak the dry rub to make it more to your liking. For example, you can try adding some lemon rind for a bit more of a citrus flavor.
- Make sure your turkey is thawed if you’re using a frozen one.
- The vegetables can be left out if you want to cook them using a different method or slow cooker.
- I made use of a boneless turkey breast for this slow cooker recipe. However, you can use a bone-in cut if you want.
