I followed the recipe exactly! I cooked it for 3hours on low and the meat was still completely raw so I turned it up to high for 3 hours. Unfortunately the turkey breast was an little on the dry side.. The flavor was amazing! Next time I will start on high for a couple of hours then turn to low for 4. Can't wait to make this again! I put the turkey breast bones and some chicken bones from the freezer and some veggie scraps back into the crockpot and filled it with water and turned it to high to cook overnight..

I followed the recipe exactly! I cooked it for 3hours on low and the meat was still completely raw so I turned it up to high for 3 hours. Unfortunately the turkey breast was an little on the dry side.. The flavor was amazing! Next time I will start on high for a couple of hours then turn to low for 4. Can't wait to make this again! I put the turkey breast bones and some chicken bones from the freezer and some veggie scraps back into the crockpot and filled it with water and turned it to high to cook overnight.. Tomorrow I will strain it, add the leftover turkey and some veggies to it and make some soup for the freezer.

It's summer time, and just when I think the days couldn't possibly fly by any faster, they do. I love having the girls home with me, and we've been having lots of fun [playing board (bored?) games](http://totallytogetherjournal.com/starting-a-family-game-night/), staying up late, camping in the backyard, and running through the sprinklers. and we're only in week number two\! Today, though, my 7-year-old has the flu, and there is nothing worse than hearing friends outside riding bikes when you're stuck inside on the couch. She's a good sport, though, and is watching [RV on loop](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000I8G5D0?ie=UTF8&tag=totatogejour-20&linkCode=xm2&camp=1789&creativeASIN=B000I8G5D0) (cute movie, ages 7+; quite a few bathroom-related jokes....) while I catch up on computer work. Although we're in June, and slow cooker fare usually conjures up snowy/rainy days and crisp fall weather, I implore you to NOT forget about your slow cooker during the summer months. It keeps your kitchen cool, and provides more opportunity to play\! Beer Braised Turkey with Potatoes. ## The Ingredients. serves 4-6 [![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixm9rxKVKOBKELyNjGyqnIV_Hp7EPmuAlOX0XHoqYhjtxokM39BxwgN-8YDJUb4xfMveVNzMfbuxv6oAOptMdxnPIkx9nFkwp47oIcupjRMpKbhNS1jWe_m1CeXytpPdh2c6zDlb7U4x1u/s320-rw/beer+braised+turkey+slow+cooker+ingredients.JPG)](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixm9rxKVKOBKELyNjGyqnIV_Hp7EPmuAlOX0XHoqYhjtxokM39BxwgN-8YDJUb4xfMveVNzMfbuxv6oAOptMdxnPIkx9nFkwp47oIcupjRMpKbhNS1jWe_m1CeXytpPdh2c6zDlb7U4x1u/s1600/beer+braised+turkey+slow+cooker+ingredients.JPG) - 2 pounds potatoes, washed and quartered (no need to peel) - 1 onion, peeled and thinly sliced - 3 pounds turkey drumsticks, or a bone-in turkey breast - 4 tablespoons butter (melted, or just toss in the half-stick) - 1 tablespoon dried basil (or 1/4 cup finely diced fresh basil leaves) - 1 lemon, juiced - 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt - 1 (12-ounce) bottle of beer (Redbridge, by Anheuser Busch is gluten free.) If you'd prefer to not cook with alcohol, you can use a non-alcoholic beer. ## The Directions. Use a 6-quart slow cooker. Place the potatoes and onion into the bottom of your insert, and add turkey on top. Frozen is okay--- and I did try to peel away some of the skin from my legs since I have [weird skin issues](http://ayearofslowcooking.com/2008/02/whole-chicken-in-crockpot-recipe.html). Plop in butter, basil, and lemon juice. Sprinkle on salt, and pour in the beer. Cover, and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 4-5 hours. ## The Verdict. I served our turkey dinner with steamed Brussels sprouts, although if I had gotten my act together earlier in the day would have preferred to [roast them](http://ayearofslowcooking.com/2008/12/crockpot-roasted-winter-root-vegetables.html) or make the [world's best Brussels sprouts](http://ayearofslowcooking.com/2010/10/very-best-brussels-sprouts-ever-slow.html). The turkey was beautifully moist, and the drippings made a fabulous gravy (thicken by reducing in the stove, or by whisking in a cornstarch slurry--1 tablespoon cornstarch with 2 tablespoons cold water).
