Slow Cooker Turkey Legs

Slow Cooker Turkey Legs

Cook turkey legs in the slow cooker for thighs and drumsticks that are juicy, tender, and perfectly seasoned. Try this for Thanksgiving when you don’t want to cook an entire turkey. My daughters and husband love this with jellied cranberry sauce, quick stuffing, and gravy.

Ingredients

  • 6 turkey legs
  • 3 teaspoons poultry seasoning
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 6 sheets aluminum foil

Directions

Step 1
Rinse turkey legs and pat dry. Season with poultry seasoning, salt, and pepper. Wrap each leg tightly in aluminum foil.

Step 2
Place wrapped legs into a slow cooker with no liquid or other ingredients. Cover and cook on Low until meat is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 7 to 8 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Step 3
Remove from the slow cooker and let sit for 10 to 15 minutes. Carefully remove and discard foil. Separate thighs from drumsticks.
