This flavorful turkey is much faster to prepare than a whole turkey.  Dried herbs may be used in place of the fresh herbs if you prefer.  When cooking in a slow cooker remove the lid as little as possible.  When you remove the lid the steam escapes.  10 to 15 minutes of cooking time will need to be added each time you remove the lid.
