Slow Cooker
Thanksgiving Crockpot Recipes
Put your crockpot to work this Thanksgiving to simplify things and free up your hands and oven space for other
Not only does using a crockpot free up valuable oven space, they are great for making things a little in advance and keeping them warm until everyone is ready to eat.
Below are some of my favorite ways to turn a slow cooker into a Thanksgiving day assistant.
Make the Turkey in the slow cooker.
Turkey is probably my favorite Thanksgiving food to cook in a crockpot. You’ll have to settle for cooking a turkey breast since it’s impossible to fit an entire turkey in a slow cooker, but you’ll be amazed at how tender and juicy turkey breast cooked in the crockpot is. Plus, you can easily turn the crockpot cooking juices into a gravy to serve alongside the turkey.

Make a side dish or two in the crockpot.
The sides are my favorite part of a southern Thanksgiving. Try one of these Thanksgiving favorites in your crockpot:
- Crockpot Mashed Potatoes

- Slow Cooker Barbecued Green Beans
- Slow Cooker Sausage Cornbread Dressing
- Slow Cooker Mac and Cheese

You can even make a delicious Thanksgiving dessert in the crockpot. Here are some of our favorites:
- Crockpot Pecan Pie– nothing beats a pecan pie for Thanksgiving!
- Crockpot Pumpkin Pie– yes, even a pumpkin pie can be made in a slow cooker!
- Crockpot Butterscotch Apple Crisp– perfect with a scoop of vanilla ice cream
