Begin by preparing the crockpot. Ensure it is clean and ready for use.
Peel and chop the potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Arrange them evenly on the bottom of the crockpot, creating a solid layer.
If you're using a whole turkey, clean it thoroughly, removing any giblets or excess fat. Place the turkey on top of the potatoes in the crockpot. Alternatively, if using turkey breasts, place them on the potatoes. Ensure they fit comfortably in the crockpot without overcrowding.
Prepare the onions, celery, and carrots by washing them and cutting them into small pieces. These aromatic vegetables will add depth of flavor to the dish. Arrange them around the turkey or turkey breasts in the crockpot, filling any gaps.
Next, add the stuffing mix on top of the vegetables and turkey. You can use your favorite stuffing recipe or a pre-made mix. Ensure it is evenly distributed across the crockpot.
Pour the chicken broth over the entire contents of the crockpot. The broth will help keep the turkey moist and infuse the stuffing with flavor.
Once all the ingredients are in the crockpot, place the lid securely on top.
Set the crockpot to cook on high for 4 to 5 hours or on low for 8 hours. Cooking times may vary depending on your specific crockpot model and the size of your turkey or turkey breasts. Check for doneness by ensuring the turkey reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the potatoes and vegetables are tender.
When the cooking time is complete, carefully remove the lid from the crockpot, taking care to avoid any steam. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the turkey to ensure it's fully cooked.
Serve the delicious turkey and stuffing straight from the crockpot, scooping out portions of potatoes, vegetables, and stuffing along with slices of tender turkey. Enjoy your hearty and flavorful meal!
