Thanksgiving Turkey In The Slow Cooker Food

SLOW-COOKER PULLED TURKEY

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix the salt, garlic powder, smoked paprika and pepper until well combined. Put the onions in the bottom of a 6-quart slow cooker with the garlic cloves.
• Slowly work your fingers under the skin of the turkey breast to separate the skin from the breast, being careful not to tear the skin. Rub the butter under the skin, covering the entire breast as evenly as possible, then rub the outside of the skin with the garlic powder mixture.
• Place the turkey breast on top of the onions and garlic in the slow cooker and set the slow cooker to low. Cook until the meat is falling apart, 6 to 8 hours depending on the size of the breast.
• Remove the turkey and any bones from the slow cooker. Pull the meat off of the bone and place the turkey back into the juices left in the slow cooker. Using 2 forks, shred the meat in the juices and allow to rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Prepare long grain rice and stuffing according to their instructions. Stir in the cranberries, thyme, and butternut squash, and set aside. Allow both to cool. You can make these a day ahead.
• Butterfly your boneless turkey breast. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eB7BYlTxUSQ.
• Unfold the turkey breast on a board, with the inside facing up, being sure to open all of the flaps. Spread the stuffing evenly over the turkey leaving 1" around bare. Next add the rice, the squash and then the cranberries. Starting at one end, roll the turkey as best you can (it won't be perfect, but that's okay), and tie with kitchen twine to hold the meat together. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
• Add the remaining oil to the frying pan, and lightly sear the turkey on all sides. Transfer to a 5- or 6-quart slow cooker, along with the quartered onion and all of the apple juice concentrate or cider.
• Cover and cook on HIGH for 1-3/4 to 2 hours, or until a thermometer measures 165°F when inserted into the center of the turkey.
• Remove the turkey from the slow cooker, and cover with foil. You can strain the liquid and boil it down in a small sauce pan, to make a gravy. Allow to rest 15-20 minutes before serving.
• Serve warm or at room temperature. Can be made ahead; let cool, and refrigerate.
