  • Place the turkey over the stuffing mixture. Cover and cook on low 5 to 6 hours, or until the turkey is done (the USDA recommends 165℉). Remove the turkey and cover with foil. (Note: I cook my turkey until it reaches 160℉, then I remove it and cover it with foil. The temperature will continue to rise to 165℉ and will be juicier.)

Notes

For more helpful hints, substitution ideas, slow cooking tips, and other delicious recipe ideas, check out my post above.
CROCKPOT COOKING TIP: Every slow cooker heats a little differently, so cooking times can vary. Once you know how your crock pot runs (hotter or cooler), you can adjust as needed. For meats and proteins, always use a thermometer to check doneness—the internal temperature is the most accurate way to know when it’s ready.
TIPS: Cook until the turkey reaches 165°F for food safety. Remove at 160°F and rest under foil for juicier meat. If the stuffing is too dry add a little extra broth. Fluff the stuffing before serving.
VARIATIONS: Use chicken instead of turkey, or add chopped apples, mushrooms, or pecans for texture. Try cornbread or herb stuffing mix for different flavor. 
SERVING SUGGESTIONS: Slice the turkey and serve over the stuffing with gravy or cranberry sauce on the side.
