How to Cook a Whole Turkey in the Slow Cooker~Easy Cooking

- In this easy cooking video, I cook a whole turkey in my crock pot, or slow cooker. I seasoned the turkey, inside and out, with Kinder's Mild BBQ Rub, and then cooked it on low for 8 hours, until the internal temperature of the breast reached 165 degrees F. I didn't add any liquid to the crockpot.
Now that’s perfect to put on early Sunday morning then send out a drop in invite for the kids and grown grandkids to drop by for a turkey sandwich, chips and some sweet tea. Thanks so much
Great idea!
His dog was wondering if it was Christmas already. He was so excited. So cute.
Turkey in a slow cooker sounds perfect for these snowy cold days
I can't wait to try this! Thank you so much for your videos. I'll season it differently and try to finish it in the oven to crisp up the skin.
Sounds good! Happy Thanksgiving!
some family thought it was weird we slow cooked or turkey for soo long. glad to see we aint the only ones 😅
Currently doing this! I don't Currently have a oven. Pray it turns out good!!!
Currently watching cud my oven not working either
How did it turn out??
!! PRAYING.....UH, PRAYING!!!
I like how you just try things and see how it goes
Thank you! It makes things more interesting that way.
Love your channel you make it so simple and I'm more confident cooking thanks to you ! Sending lots of love for your cooking from Los Angeles ! Even got a instant pot and crock pot to try out your recipes I've been watching for a few years
Thank you!
Thanks for this. I am going to be cooking a turkey in a slow cooker so this is really helpful.
You're welcome! I'm glad this helps!
For the skin to be good, put it In the oven when it finish for 10 mins on high heat so the skins gets nice crispy colour
Just cooked a turkey in the crock pot. It was so juicy and tender. I loved it. It was the best idea.
Awesome!
Never defrost a turkey sitting out on counter. If you need a fast defrost, cover with cold water in your sink, NOT HOT, AND REPLACE the cold water every 30 minutes until defrosted. Dangerous to consume meat sitting out on a counter for more than 3 hours. Don't use the plastic thermometer that comes with the turkey as they are programmed for 185F which is too long. Use a progessional thermometer and the turkey is ready to rest at 165F
Thank you mister health inspector 😅
Wow Awesome!!! Never knew this was possible!!!! Doing it this Thanksgiving!!! Thank you sir from Texas!!! Happy Thanksgiving 2019!!! God bless!!!😎👍
Thank you! Happy Thanksgiving from California!
@@TosTinManEasyCooking I was born in California in 1968 in Long Beach!!!😃
...Never even considered doing turkey in a slow-cooker...Another adventurous and great job Jim...
Thanks!
Cant go wrong with a slow cooker, looks good
Thanks! I was pretty happy with it!
I have made a turkey like this a few years ago. It was delicious.
Nice job can't wait to put it in at 5am
Let’s get crocken!!! Hilarious 😂
I had this a few years ago and I have to say Crock Pot Turkey taste the best.
Great video my friend. I cook turkeys in the slow cooker all the time. I use the slow cooker plastic bags. I have a seven-quart slow cooker. It works great. No mess with the bags. I rinse the pot when I'm done. The best way ever to cook a turkey. What is the temp in CA today? It was 40 degrees here.
Thanks for the input! It's been cold and rainy here.
YAY- AY- AY- OH! DEF GONNA HAVE TURKEY MORE OFTEN! A lot more often. Thank you for this!
Wow.... thank you for posting that, though my crockpot is not as big as yours it. I normally hate cooking turkey because doing it in the oven is so dry. But I thought if it could be done in the crockpot it would be much better 😁
Tim, you might want to try hatchcocking the turkey to fit it easier in your crockpot. Happy Thanksgiving 🐓
I have a slow cooker and never used, I think gonna try for this Christmas!.
Another great video! You make cooking so easy. I am buying a turkey because this is the best 'Turkey ' video I have ever seen!!!
Thank you! :)
Oh I love Annie!!!!!! .....AND all of your videos! I can't wait to try this.
Thank you!
Looks yummy! I'm trying it this Christmas!
Rural King now has slow cookers for turkeys up to like 25lbs I believe. They are huge.
Thanks for sharing your technique. I have a suggestion for people who maybe want the crispy outer layer: take your turkey out when done straight to pre heated broiler and crisp top and bottom of bird and make it look like you ROASTED IT!
Thanks for the tip!
Would I have to flip it over to crisp the bottom
@@coolb8545not if you have a wire rack
VERY NICE THE LEGS AND WINGS LOOKING SO GOOD YOU ALWAYS HAVE GOOD COOKING SKILLS AND WONDERFUL IDEAS IN PREPARING YOUR FOOD
Thank you!
Thank you!!!!😁 My gas stove/oven hasn't worked for months but I have a crockpot. I'm giving my big bird a whirl, let's see if it fits in the same size crockpot you have🤭 Happy Thanksgiving🦃
I’ve cooked my turkey in a crockpot for the last 4 years. Best idea ever and you don’t have to worry about it being dry. You’ll never want to cook it on an oven again!!!
If your Turkey or chicken doesn't fit you can alway debone it. Basically cut the back bone out like you would when you butterfly a chicken for the grill. And you can save what ever you cut out in the freezer to add to whatever you use to make bone broth.
Wow, I can't get my turkey done the wright way. I am going to try your method, thank you.
That was a tight fit for that Turkey,glad you were able to make it work
New to your channel..how fun...Annie is so cute 🤗
Thank you!
I cooked one last year yummy good took about 9 hours it was 13 pounds
I do whole chicken this way too and the BEST tenderness and juices and flavor. Omg yes. No guess work in oven or drying out! Heavenly. I do 10hrs on low for big bird.
Sounds good! Thanks for commenting!
That dog. ❤
YUM JIM‼️ Hard to think of you as the tin-man, cause you cook with such HEART✌️❣
LOL Thank you!
The true taste test was Annie❤️
Thank you for your insightful video!!! Cooking mine on crock pot, Iam setting it on high to cook it faster hopefully it will be great,. Happy Thanksgiving to you from B'more.
I made a whole chicken in the slowcooker yesterday. Some of the chicken was pink after eight hours, but the chicken was falling off the bone. I thought it wasn't done yet, but now I see your video, some of the chicken has the same pink color. So apparently I was wrong.
What part of the chicken is best to measure the temperature of while cooking a chicken?
I usually check the temperature in the thickest part of the breast.
Yummy!! Great video
Thank you!
Wow great sharing.
Thank you!
Would it work to put the turkey in the oven on broil for 10 min or so to crisp up skin?
Yeah, that would probably help.
I think I'll cook it in the slow cooker to keep it moist and basted then bang it in the oven for the last 15 minutes. It definitely will take the stress out of Christmas cooking.
I like how he acknowledged that the skin doesn’t get crispy, I love crispy skin, I wonder if you could put in the over to crisp the skin without the meat drying out much?
Btw lil Annie looks so cute bouncing around for a taste of turkey lol!!
Could always put the cooked turkey in the oven for a quick crispy skin, best wishes and Happy Holidays dear.
@@shanghunter7697 thank you much, Happy holidays to you as well.
“Simply Mama cooks “ has a video showing how to get it crispy , the same as this one , but when it’s done , she takes it out and lathers with butter and thyme , tosses it in the broiler for crispy skin, juicy meat
@@klausrostock4163 thanks love! Replied just in time for the holidays
hello and thank you for saving my butt lol my oven stopped working thanksgiving eve i was so mad i did know what to do i had a light bulb moment go to the tube and i found YOU i had to cut it up like a chicken and i did cooked it in a crock pot from 12 midnight to 6am and it was very very tender it fell off the bones thank you for saving my thanksgiving
You're welcome. I'm glad this helped!
I thought you were nuts at first...but damn....you did it. I can't believe on low only eight hours....Kudos. Thanks for posting.
Thanks! :)
Thanks for sharing 👍
Can place it under broiler for few min to crisp skin
Low and slow is the way to go. The problem with those popup thingies is when it say its done, then it is over done. I usually put it breast side down to allow it to cook in its own juices and it seems to be a lot less dry in my prospective. I am a leg and thigh fan when it comes to turkey.
Yeah, I like the dark meat better as well.
good job hey there's nothing wrong with a little experiment and it looks like it did turn out nice 😀
Thanks! I was pretty happy with it.
Excellent job, as Usual
Thank you!
Great job as always!
Thank you!
Annie loved it.
Looks great! Did you make gravy out of the juices in the slow cooker? Keep up the awesome videos!
Thanks! No, I didn't but there was definitely plenty of juice to make gravy with.
Please don't leave your turkey on the counter to unthaw. It should unthaw in the refrigerator or if you need it sooner, fill your sink with COLD water, put the turkey in (wrapper still on) and change the water every couple of hours. Do not run hot water on it.
I'll be putting mine in today:)
Seems like rice cooker works really well..
Looks good!
Ryzanify44 Thank you!
My 9-1/2# turkey cost $23.00 here in Alaska! Want to make turkey cacciatore!
I've done it and it fell off the bones but was delicious well done
Thank you!
You can cut legs and other parts off if necessary to cook later. Easier to let thaw out in refrigerator a day or two. You can pan fry skin to get it browner.
I’ve done many turkeys in my 10 quart slow cooker. However, there are certain steps that make it more delicious and enjoyable. I always thaw in my refrigerator first. Then I preheat my oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit, and set the thetemperature on crockpot on high for at least half hour, with 1/2 stock or water, and place lid on to preheat . I put my premade rub over and inside the cavity, and inject my premade flavored brine and spice solution, made the night before, in various places. I then, place the turkey, uncovered, in the oven to brown the skin, for half hour. If you skip this step, (as I could clearly see you did), it will most likely be underwhelming and bland. Word of Caution: I always cooked my turkeys, until they had an internal temperature of 175 degrees Fahrenheit. This fully guarantees your turkey is cooked 100% through! Trust me, the turkey with be delicious and moist, most importantly, safe to eat. I’m sorry sir, but your turkey needed more time, probably 2 more hours to cook. That red button, isn’t always guaranteed to pop up, but I never had a turkey that had a button that didn’t pop. Those turkey legs should have literally fell off, or came off, when you pulled slightly. Yours did not. Always use your meat thermometer in 3 deep separate areas of the turkey. If you only go an inch and hit bone, do it over. One last thing I suggest; once you’ve checked your turkey and are satisfied with its temperature and level of doneness, put the lid back on tightly, lower to warm setting, and leave it on the crock pot for one hour to rest. Oh, I forgot to mention: You absolutely must make sure your turkey is 100% thawed, or you risk issues with bacteria growth, that cannot be cooked out.
Hi Jim, that was a great deal you got on the turkey it turned out tender juicy and delicious Anne sure loved it.
Thanks Rick! It was a great deal and it turned out pretty good in the slow cooker.
You are a beast!! I like!
Thank you!
Gr8 video
49ers won yesterday!!
Egads man. Remind me not to eat at your place. Defrosted on the counter? Then used hot water to try to defrost it more?
I slow cook my Cornish hens in my crockpot ❤️
Great recipe for tomaine.
No, no no.....do not use hot water to thaw a turkey...Please, everyone, thaw your turkey in the fridge for about three days... Best way to stay away from bacteria....More people suffer from food poisoning on Thanksgiving day, than any other day of the year. Stay Safe!
Woeee😋😋😋
I know it doesn’t look pretty but I always flip my bird over so the breast is down so the juices run down into the white meat. And your wings won’t stick 😉
Thanks!
Thank YOU
*whew
Put the turkey in the broiler for a bit to brown and crisp the skin.
You should’ve tried cooking it upside down so all the breast meat cooks in the juice and fat, that’s what in going to try this year for thanksgiving.
You can cook skin in broiler pan for a few minutes also removing lid increases cooking time, some meat needs to be seared before cooking in a slower cooker there is another video by a woman about that.
You should have put part or half of the turkey in the toaster oven for at least 5 minutes to toast or roast a little I guess.
What’s the red thing in turkey
It's a pop up thermometer.
looks really great but the dog needs a little more the pieces look small
LOL Thanks!
My American fiance has just cooked Turkey legs in a pot at my kitchen . She also made salat mashed potatoes with milk butter . yours seem more juicy and tender than Ours was a bit of hard. I complimented her with beautiful words she suddenly give me a kiss))))
If u want the can Brown you can take it and put it in the oven until it's brown 450° best maximum temperature the reason I know this is I do this with rotisserie chicken
I know this is late, but you could also get a pan SUPER hot and give it a nice sear on all sides before you put it in the slow cooker. It will help with that skin and color!
Should of tried it with Johnny season pepper
Take it out of the crock pot and put it on the CHARCOAL grill put some butter on it then your favorite BBQ sauce
6.99$ god I wish, here they start at 20$ and they start as a small chicken size, the price goes up to 60$ for a decent sized one
Having commercials on here on youtube in general is a good way to make sure i never buy your product 🙃
Who installed your electric outlet over your sink like that? 🤦♀️
use cold water not hot
NEW SUBBIE 🤗😇
Thank you!
@@TosTinManEasyCooking CAN'T WAIT 2 CATCH UP ON ALL OF THE VIDEOS👍👏😅🤗😇
whole turkey is not 165, it's 172+. Thats y the thing didn't pop
My dog swallows food whole to I dont think she chews any
What breed is Annie?
She's a chiweenie. Chiwawa and Dachsund mix.
Hot water to thaw meat will tend to make the meat tough
It’s 2021. That turkey is about $20.00 now.
U didn’t use no water or nothing ?
No
Okay good I have 10 quart perfect
Lol a frozen Turkey 😂🦃
Sharpen your kitchen knives! A good chef's knife should be able to cut though a tough joint in 3 passes or less if it's properly sharp. A knife that's not sharp you have to finagle with more than you should, risking injury. A sharp knife is safer. Get 'em ready for this next holiday!
0:22 where do you live that 10 pounds of turkey is only 7 bucks?!
Northern California. Grocery Outlet has some good deals!
Where the seasoning blood lol
He is stabbing it with the thermometer and juices are running out
Wow 😲 699$ ,? How cheap back then
