I had the turkey in the crockpot in 10 minutes and didn't have to worry about it the rest of the day. It was tender and juicy and makes plenty for our family of 5 plus leftovers for more meals later! Super easy!

This was fabulous. Made this for Easter dinner today, and everyone loved it. Will definitely make again.
