For a big pile of sliced white meat: 2.5 hours on low. For dark meat that’s more forgiving: 2 hours on low. For shredded leftovers destined for a sandwich: 1-1.5 hours on low. Always add that splash of broth. Always.
And if you’re in a rush? I get it. You can do 1.5 hours on low, then crank it to high for the last 30 minutes. But watch it like a hawk. You’re playing with fire, and that fire will turn your Thanksgiving victory into a shameful, dry regret.
So go ahead, pile that mountain of turkey into the crock pot. Add your broth, set the timer, and go take a well-deserved nap. You’ve earned it. And in three hours, you’ll have a bird that tastes like victory—warm, tender, and ready for round two. Or three. No judgment here.
