Christmas dinner in slow cooker?

[FlangeBucketFace]

Sorry to bring up the C word...
This year we are having beef for Christmas lunch, but we also want to do a boned breast of turkey. Mainly as my grandma doesn’t eat red meat, but also for turkey sarnies the next day.
However, oven space is at a premium and we were thinking of cooking the turkey in our slow cooker to free up space.
Is this completely off the wall, or has anyone else done this? The turkey will be completely boned.

I’d just do it the day before.

I’ve cooked a whole chicken in the slow cooker. It works fine and the meat stays very most, the only downside is no crispy skin. I put a layer of onion and carrots cut into chunks in the bottom of the cooker and rest the chicken on that, but I don’t add extra liquid.

Awesome, thank you! I don’t think we’ll be fussed about crispy skin, as long as it stays moist.

I've done a turkey crown a few times in slow cooker - thrown in some stock, onion, herbs and people have said it's the nicest they've tasted - so moist!

I'd do the beef in the slow cooker, same as a brisket?

The beef will need to be done in the oven - it’s not at all the right cut for a slow cooker.

[PintOfBovril]

Ah right yes in that case I'd probably do the bird the day before and get it out of the way

I cook my turkey crown in the slow cooker every year. It stays moist and falls apart, I've had so many compliments. I put it in around 8 am and it's ready for around 1pm

Lovely! Thank you all! We’ll give it a go :-)
