Fall-off-the-bone tender slow cooker turkey legs

We discovered the slow cooker is by far our favorite way to cook turkey legs. When you do nothing more than add salt and pepper and cook low and slow, the meat ends up so tender you can pull it cleanly off the bone with your fingers. It tastes so delicious we end up with nothing left but a pile of shiny white bones and tendons. There are so many little bones in turkey legs a lot of it usually ends up not getting eaten. Carnivals are always full of people walking around with a carnage-covered turkey bone. The slow cooker totally solves this problem, and the flavor and texture of the turkey soar.

Simplicity is the key here. Using only salt and pepper lets the turkey flavor shine. Not using any liquid keeps the turkey intact; the bird will still be plenty moist. I threw in an onion and a potato this time, but you don’t have to. This will take five minutes to throw together and might be the best turkey legs you’ve had.
