Turkey day is fast approaching guys. If you haven't already nailed down your menu, it's about time to! Since we're running out of time, I thought it would be fun and hopefully helpful to put together a list of Thanksgiving slow cooker recipes with just 5 ingredients or less.
Keeping it simple and freeing up your oven will help you nail your meal! A couple of weeks ago, I cooked a whole turkey in my Crock-Pot, so now I'm truly convinced you can pull almost anything off in that magic pot of wonder.
From whole turkeys to your favorite traditional Thanksgiving side dishes, I think I got it covered. Cranberry Sauce? Sweet potatoes or my favorite... broccoli and cheese, check out these quick and simple recipes! Just a heads up, I didn't factor in spices as part of my ingredient count. I think it's safe to say we all have salt, pepper, cinnamon and other common spices.
The 5 ingredients are based on food ingredients and not spices. Hope that totally works for you! Enjoy and please come back and share your favorites!

I've never made a turkey in the slow cooker. It does sound like a great way though, to cook the bird!

This holiday season has been so stressful and rushed. I am definitely going to try making some of these slow cooker dishes instead of spending all day in the kitchen.
