Instructions
Place vegetables in the bottom of your slow cooker. Add turkey on top of the vegetables.
In a small bowl or sauce pan, melt the butter. Whisk in all seasonings. Pour seasoned butter over turkey and spread evenly on all parts of the skin. Place sage on top of turkey.
Cover and cook on low for 6 hours or high for 4-5 hours or until an internal meat thermometer reads 165°F.
Remove the turkey from the slow cooker and allow to rest for about 10 minutes before slicing.
Slice and plate with vegetables. Pour remaining juices over top, if desired.
Notes
Make it a full meal by adding potatoes or other root vegetables to the slow cooker.
Try more herbs and flavorings like garlic, rosemary, or lemon.
Crisp up the skin by removing the turkey to a baking sheet or roasting pan and placing it under your oven's broiler for a few minutes (watching closely so it doesn't burn!).
