Effortless Slow Cooker Turkey Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 whole turkey (~10 lbs), thawed if previously frozen
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 4 tablespoons melted butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Thoroughly rinse the turkey inside and out, then pat it dry.
- Position the turkey breast-side up in the slow cooker. Secure the legs with kitchen twine and tuck the wings underneath.
- In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, salt, pepper, and paprika. Drizzle this mixture over the turkey, ensuring an even coat.
- Cover the slow cooker and cook the turkey on low for 7-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F in the breast and 170°F in the legs.
- For crispy skin, preheat your oven to broil. Transfer the turkey to a baking sheet and broil for about 10 minutes, or until the skin is golden and crisp.
- Allow the turkey to rest for 10 minutes before carving.
